In recent years, there has been increasing recognition that a number of synthetic polymers which have excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility are materials of pharmaceutical importance in the area of drug delivery technology. The aim of this review is to take a closer look at a few synthetic polymer-based drug delivery systems, specially the aliphatic polyesters, polyamides, polyethers, polyorthoesters, polyanhydrides, polyurethanes, hydrogels and dendritic polymers.
