Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Biodegradable Polymers for Drug Delivery Applications

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The development of efficient drug delivery systems is crucial in the field of medicine to enhance therapeutic outcomes and minimize side effects. Biodegradable polymers have gained significant attention due to their biocompatibility, controlled release properties, and ability to degrade into non-toxic byproducts. This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel biodegradable polymers for drug delivery applications. Chapter one provides an introduction to the research topic, discussing the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of terms. The literature review in chapter two explores ten key studies related to biodegradable polymers, drug delivery systems, polymer synthesis methods, and characterization techniques. Chapter three details the research methodology, including the synthesis of biodegradable polymers, characterization through various analytical techniques, drug loading and release studies, biocompatibility testing, and statistical analysis. The findings presented in chapter four discuss the properties of the synthesized polymers, drug release kinetics, biocompatibility results, and comparisons with existing drug delivery systems. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the successful synthesis of novel biodegradable polymers with tailored properties for drug delivery applications. The characterized polymers exhibit controlled drug release behavior, biocompatibility, and promising potential for targeted drug delivery. The study contributes to the advancement of drug delivery systems and lays the foundation for further research in the field of biodegradable polymers for improved therapeutic interventions.
