Abstract

In many biodegradable polymers recently investigated, poly(lactic acid)(PLA) or poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) have extensively been utilized as drug delivery systems for sustained release drug delivery. Recently, there has been increased interest in electrospinning, which can produce fibers that are sub-micron in diameter. This technique has been applied to various micro/nano fabrication areas using numerous polymers but very few uses in the sharmaceutical area have been reported. (omitted)
