Widely used in biomedical applications due to its biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Commonly employed in drug delivery systems, where it allows controlled release of therapeutic agents over time. Frequently used in the fabrication of microspheres and nanoparticles for targeted delivery. Also serves as a scaffold material in tissue engineering, supporting cell growth for regeneration of tissues such as bone and skin. Used in absorbable sutures that degrade in the body without requiring removal. Its degradation rate can be tailored by adjusting the monomer ratio, making it suitable for short-term to long-term medical implants.
