TL;DR: The results indicate that the properties of copolymers could be tailored by adjusting polymer composition, and it is suggested that these matrix polymers may be optimized as carriers in the protein (antigen) delivery system for different purposes.

TL;DR: In this article, the miscibility, crystallization and morphology of poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/poly(d,l-lactide) (PLA) blends were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies.

TL;DR: A new microsphere delivery system composed of alginate microcores surrounded by a biodegradable poly-DL-lactide-poly(ethylene glycol) coat to improve the loading efficiency and stability of proteins and presents a new approach for macromolecular drugs delivery.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new family of bioabsorbable materials suitable for biomedical applications was designed and prepared by means of blending of some available polyesters to develop new biodegradable materials tailored for different requirements.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of process parameters, such as the preparation method, the used matrix polymer with different compositions, the solvent system and the addition of stabilizer on the structural integrity and activity retention of encapsulated protein found that the solvent extraction/evaporation method benefited the activity retention compared with the phase separation method.
