Abstract

Biodegradable polymers offer great potential in nanotechnology, including drug delivery systems and medical devices. Both synthetic and natural polymers are available for use as nanosystems. When compared to synthetic polymeric drug carriers, natural polymers offer more promising features such biocompatibility and availability, in addition to simple control of size and surface properties of prepared nanoparticles. Additionally, semisynthetic polymers, based on natural polymers grafted with different synthetic substituents, have attracted more interest as nanocarriers for drug delivery.
