Overview

Description

Hydroxy polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres are made from polylactic acid that has been further modified to incorporate hydroxyl functional groups. The incorporation of hydroxy groups into the polylactic acid backbone enhances the hydrophilicity of the microspheres, facilitating better interaction with biological tissues. In addition, these microspheres are biodegradable.

Application

Hydroxy polylactic acid microspheres are widely used in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.
