A study of the interrelationships between drug release and polymer biodegradation of novel drug-polymer conjugates (DPCs). This project involves a comprehensive investigation of novel polyurethane based drug-polymer conjugates. A variety of components will be scrutinised using a modular approach for assembling the drug conjugated devices, resulting in different polymer biodegradation characteristics, drug release rates and physical properties.

This project involves a comprehensive investigation of novel polyurethane based drug-polymer conjugates. A variety of components will be scrutinised using a modular approach for assembling the drug conjugated devices, resulting in different polymer biodegradation characteristics, drug release rates and physical properties. The project aims to provide key knowledge about the inter-relationships between the key elements so that each can be precisely tailored to meet the specific requirements of a particular biological site and drug. Ultimately, this study intends to lead to the production of new drug-carrier polymer devices suitable for the treatment of illnesses and diseases.Read moreRead less
