Used primarily in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and tunable degradation properties. Commonly employed in drug delivery systems, where its slow hydrolysis allows controlled release of therapeutic agents, such as in capsules or transdermal patches. Also utilized in tissue engineering scaffolds and as a component in dental materials like filling resins or denture bases. Its solubility in organic solvents makes it suitable for electrospinning into nanofibers for wound healing and regenerative medicine. Additionally, it serves as a protective coating in medical devices and implants. In the coatings and paint industry, it offers durability against UV light and weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor applications such as signs and construction materials. It is commonly used as a binder in solvent-free coating systems.
