Journal ArticleDOI
Why degradable polymers undergo surface erosion or bulk erosion.
TL;DR: A theoretical model was developed that allows to predict the erosion mechanism of water insoluble biodegradable polymer matrices and it was shown experimentally that poly(alpha-hydroxy ester) matrices, which are considered classical bulk eroding materials, can also undergo surface erosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of polymer dissolution
TL;DR: In this paper, a general overview of several aspects of the dissolution of amorphous polymers is provided, including experimentally observed dissolution phenomena and mechanisms reported to this date, solubility behavior of polymers and their solvents, models used to interpret and understand polymer dissolution, and techniques used to characterize the dissolution process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical models of diffusion for polymer solutions, gels and solids
TL;DR: A review of physical models and theories of diffusion and their uses in describing the diffusion in polymer solutions, gels and even solids can be found in this article, where the applicability of the physical concepts is discussed.
