Application

Resomer® RG 504 H, Poly(D, L-Lactide-co-Glycolide) can be used to fabricate a biodegradable hemostyptic device for safe and locally controlled release of thrombin which promotes local blood clot formation.

It can be used to preparepolymer nanospheres for encapsulating CuO, to form stimuli-responsivemultifunctional nanocarriers.
