ABSTRACT
Nowadays, biomaterials are produced from a wide range of polymers. Among them, biodegradable and biocompatible aliphatic polyesters occupy a key position. Their chemical structure can be easily modi…ed, which allows the tailoring of important properties such as bioadherence, mechanical properties, and kinetics of biodegradation. Aliphatic polyesters are thus widely used in biomedical applications as implants, as scaffolds in tissue engineering, and as carriers for drug delivery.
