General description

Poly(butyl methacrylate) is a highly biocompatible polymer widely usedin drug delivery coatings.

Application

Poly(butyl methacrylate) has been used as a matrix to fabricate NO-releasing polymer films by solvent casting approach.

It can be used to prepare thermoresponsive microfibers with excellent mechanical properties. PBMA-containing microfibers can be used as temperature-modulated cell separation materials.
