Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for preparing a modified biodegradable polymer by using various additives and plasticizers in a biodegradable polymer which is non-toxic to human bodies, a biodegradable polymer prepared therefrom, and a biodegradable stent prepared by using the biodegradable polymer. Specifically, it is possible to reduce a decrease in molecular weight resulting from a thermal degradation occurring during the solid-phase molding processing of a biodegradable polymer by coating a solution in which various additives are dissolved during the modification of the biodegradable polymer to convert the hydroxyl end group into a functional group of a carboxylic group or a different kind of hydroxyl group.
