Investigation into the erosion mechanism of salicylate‐based poly(anhydride‐esters)

Abstract: Salicylate-based poly(anhydride-esters), collectively referred to as PolyAspirin, hydrolytically degrade into salicylic acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The variations of the poly(anhydride-ester) investigated in this article are linked by adipic acid, suberic acid, or sebacic acid. To elucidate the erosion mechanism of these polymers, water uptake, mass loss, contact angle, and changes in device thickness were monitored as a function of in vitro degradation time. The polymers examined here… Show more

“…All salicylate -based polymers degrade to produce salicylic acid and all of these were found to follow primarily surface erosion patterns [52] . Furthermore, effect of media on degradation rate was studied and found to increase marginally better (14%) in media containing actively growing bacterial culture than sterile media.…”
