Abstract:Poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) (PBCA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible homopolymer which is used as a carrier matrix for drug delivery systems in the pharmaceutical industry. Typically, polymerization is carried out under aqueous conditions and results in molecular weights are mostly lower than 3000 g/mol due to the instability of the high molecular weight PBCA. However, the stability of polymer excipients is a major prerequisite for drug product development in the pharmaceutical industry. In this work, a relia… Show more
“…Keller et al [16] prepared tailored molecular weights for poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) (PBCA) through an anionic polymerization process. For that purpose, the authors used the postulated depolymerization-repolymerization process (DPRP) in the literature, confirming its use for obtaining custom PBCA.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
