Abstract

In recent years, the growing interest in the delivery of protein and peptide drugs stimulated the development of new materials with tailored properties. Requisites to be fulfilled are the non-denaturation of the incorporated protein as well as the loaded drug and the possibility of controlling both the mechanism and kinetics of polymer degradation and drug release1.
