Abstract

In recent years, the use of polylactide (PLA), a synthetic biodegradable polymer, as drug-loaded matrix has been examined in the hope that the matrix will decay and decompose after releasing the drug in a sustained manner over a long period of time in the human body[1–8]. However, no detailed work has been done on the degradation rate of PLA even under in vitro conditions. The present paper deals with the rate of in vitro degradation of PLA microcapsules in various environmental conditions.
