Abstract:
Provided are a method for producing a stereocomplex polylactic acid composite based on oil-in-water emulsion blending, a method for preparing a drug delivery composition using a stereocomplex polylactic acid composite produced by the production method, and a drug delivery composition prepared by the preparation method. The stereocomplex polylactic acid composite is produced using oil-in-water emulsion blending that has the advantages of simple process, short production time, and high stereocomplexation efficiency compared to existing methods such as solution blending, melt-blending, and supercritical fluid technology. In addition, the drug delivery composition is prepared using oil-in-water emulsion blending that allows the drug to be loaded into the polymer chains of the stereocomplex polylactic acid in a very easy and efficient manner and facilitates release of the drug at room temperature over a long period of time.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a biodegradable polymer whose physical properties are improved by the presence of a stereocomplex organic filler. According to exemplary embodiments, the biodegradable polymer including a stereocomplex organic filler can find application in various fields, including biodegradable materials and medical materials, where conventional biodegradable polymers are difficult to use due to their inherent problems such as poor heat resistance and low strength. Also disclosed is a method for producing the biodegradable polymer.
