Polyanhydrides synthesized from pure ricinoleic acid half‐esters with maleic and succinic
anhydrides possess desired physicochemical and mechanical properties for use as drug …

A systematic study on the synthesis, characterization, degradation, and drug release of fatty
acid terminated poly(sebacic acid) (PSA) is reported. Fatty acid terminated sebacic acid …

Bioerodible polymeric implants have been used for the delivery of a range of anticancer drugs
(1-5). These devices are favorable for clinical use because the device is eliminated from …

Restenosis of coronary arteries within 6 months of angioplasty has severely limited the long-term
success of this procedure. As with any procedure that involves vascular manipulation, …

A systemic study on the synthesis, characteriztion, degradation, drug release, and stability
of nonlinear fatty acid terminated poly(sebacic anhydride) (PSA) is reported. Ricinoleic acid …

The hydrophilic desferrioxamine (DFO) and the lipophilic salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl
hydrazone (SIH) are iron chelators which inhibit in vitro proliferation of Plasmodium falciparum …

Polyanhydrides are useful bioabsorbable materials for controlled drug delivery. They hydrolyze
to dicarboxylic acid monomers when placed in aqueous medium. Since their introduction …

The effect of terminal sterilization by γ-irradiation on several ricinoleic acid based polyanhydrides
was investigated. The following polymers were used: poly(ricinoleic acid maleate) [P(…

OVERVIEW A new wafer-level chip-scale package provides an integrated cavity above the
active area of a MEMS device. This package was designed for devices with mechanically …

The packaging of microelectromechanical devices is currently one of the most challenging
in this emerging field. The available packaging technologies often provide large dimensions …
