THERMOSENSITIVE POLYMERS FOR THERAPEUTIC USE AND METHODS OF PREPARATION
Application 154/DELNP/2006 published 2007-08-24, filed 2006-01-09
A process for preparing a thermosensitive polymer from a microemulsion is provided. Themicroemulsion comprises a monomer capable of forming a thermosensitive polymer and a polymerizable surfactant. Additional comonomers may be included in the roemulsion to vary the properties of the polymers produced. The resulting ermosensitive polymers may be nanoporous. The polymers according to the invention are suitable for use in medical applications, including use as a wound dressing and for delivery of cells to a graft site.
