Definition Biodegradable A “biodegradable” product has the ability to break down, safely, reliably, and relatively quickly, by biological means, into raw materials of nature and disappear into nature. Biomaterial A biomaterial can be defined as a material intended to interface with biological systems to evaluate, treat, augment or replace any tissue, organ or function of the body [1].

What is Polymer Degradation? polymers were synthesized from glycolic acid in 1920sAt that time, polymer degradation was viewed negatively as a process where properties and performance deteriorated with time.
BONE+PLATE Degradable Polymer Plate Mechanical Strength PLATE BONE Time Biodegradable Polymers as Medical Device Material • No need a second surgery for removal • More physiological repair • Avoid stress shielding • Potential as the basis for controlled drug delivery • Temporary sport during tissue recovery • Less invasive repair

Degradation Mechanisms • Enzymatic degradation • Hydrolysis (depend on main chain structure: anhydride > ester > carbonate) • Homogenous degradation • Heterogenous degradation
Degradation Steps Water-sorption Molar mass reduction Degradation Steps Loss of weight Reduction of mechanical properties (modulus & strength)
Degradation Schemes • Surface erosion (poly(ortho)esters & polyanhydrides) • Sample is eroded from the surface • Mass loss is faster than the ingress of water into the bulk • Bulk degradation (PLA,PGA,PLGA, PCL) • Degradation takes place throughout the whole of the sample • Ingress of water is faster than the rate of degradation
Erodible Matrices or Micro/Nanospheres • (a)Bulk-eroding system • (b)Surface-eroding system
Factors Influence the Degradation Behavior • Chemical Structure and Chemical Composition • Distribution of Repeat Units in Multimers • Molecular Weight • Polydispersity • Presence of Low Mw Compounds (monomer, oligomers, solvents, plasticizers, etc) • Presence of Ionic Groups • Presence of Chain Defects • Presence of Unexpected Units • Configurational Structure • Morphology (crystallinity, presence of • microstructure, orientation and residue • stress) • Processing methods & Conditions • Method of Sterilization • Annealing • Storage History • Site of Implantation • Absorbed Compounds • Physiochemical Factors (shape, size) • Mechanism of Hydrolysis (enzymes vs • water)
Factors for Polymer DegradationAcceleration • More hydrophilic backbone. • More hydrophilic endgroups. • More reactive hydrolytic groups in the backbone. • Less crystallinity. • More porosity. • Smaller device size.

Tissue Engineering PLLA, PCL, PGA, poly(glycolide) & poly[d,l-(lactide-co-glycolide)] have excellent biocompatibility and good mechanical properties and have been licensed by FDA for in vivo applications for tissue engineering scaffolds [2]. Cells are cultured on a scaffold to form a natural tissue, and then the formed tissue is implanted in the defect part in the patients. In some cases, a scaffold or a scaffold with cells is implanted in vivo directly, and the host’s body works as a bioreactor to construct new tissues [3].
Gene Delivery System [4] • Poly(l-lysine)-based degradable polymers • Poly(β-amino ester)s-based degradable polymers • Polyphosphoester-based degradable polymers • Polyethyleniminemodified with degradable polymers • Degradable polymers in siRNA delivery
Gene Delivery System Barriers to gene delivery. Design requirements for gene delivery systems include the ability to (I) package therapeutic genes, (II) gain entry into cells,(III) escape from the endo-lysosomal pathway,(IV) affect DNA/vector release,(V)travelthrough the cytoplasm and into the nucleus, and (VI) enable gene expression [5]. TSP50 was immobilized onto biodegradable polymer fibers.ThenTSP50-immobilized polymer fibers could selectively adsorb the anti-TSP50 [6].
Conclusion • Synthetic biodegradable polymers no immunogenicity easier to be chemically modified &functionalized. • The developing trends in the functionalization of synthetic biodegradable polymers (1) Easier functionalization processes with mild reaction conditions and without harmful effects on bulk properties of polymers are pursued (2) Functionalization will be related to biomimetics (3) Promising potential for in vivo applications.
