Sustained long term delivery_x000D_
of pharmaceutical compounds is and extremely challenging tasks and requires the development of complex_x000D_
delivery systems. Such systems must be biocompatible, biodegradable and minimally invasive in order to_x000D_
perform over long period of time. The use of polymer alloys appears to be a straightforward solution to this_x000D_
technological problem. They offer unprecedent versatility in terms of control of erosion rate and active_x000D_
compound release as well as unmatched biocompatibility profile. The proposed study will establish the_x000D_
fundamental properties of polymer alloys as drug delivery systems and will provide the industrial partner with a_x000D_
strong knowledge of their potential performances in biomedical devices such as implants., program purpose french : This research project explores the use of polymer alloys as drug delivery systems. Sustained long term delivery_x000D_
