摘要
Tablets produced by compression of a novel biodegradable triblock copolymer of epsilon-caprolactone (CL) and ethylene oxide (E), CL(6)E(90)CL(6), have been shown to possess bioadhesive properties. The work of adhesion, the detachment force, the fracture strength, and the modulus of elasticity were calculated from force-elongation curves measured for polymer tablets in contact with mucosal tissue from rat duodenum. Environmental scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate changes in the appearance of the tablet surface during its hydration acid also after adhesion to the mucosal tissue.
