Biodegradation sustainable development

PYR is a serious complication of retinal detachment surgery. Inhibition of cellular proliferation and postoperative inflammation may reduce the development of PYR. Inhibition of postoperative inflammation would eliminate one of the components of PVR and biodegradable sustained delivery systems that contain anti-inflammatory agents may be useful. 

While the PLA pellets seemed to have potential as biodegradable sustained insulin delivery systems, the need for surgical implantation hindered their progress and attractiveness for use in humans. This directed researchers to develop biodegradable systems that could be placed via injection with a simple syringe, thus obviating the need for any surgical procedure either for implantation or removal.

The use of biodegradable polymers provides another promising path [RUT 04]. The concept of biodegradability is often used incorrectly (sometimes even to justify action in sustainable development) and should be precisely defined. We will read about this subject in the study by Guy Cesar (see Chapter 14). 

The development of PH As has gained more importance owing to the relatively new concerns of our societies ecology, sustainable development, biomedical engineering. These bacterial polyesters are synthesized from renewable resources, are biodegradable... 

Tailoring new materials within a perspective of eco-design or sustainable development is a philosophy that is applied to more and more materials. It is the reason why material components such as biodegradable polymers can be considered as interesting - environmentally safe - alternatives. Besides, ecological concerns have resulted in a resumed interest in renewable resources-based products. 

The interest on replacing synthetic packaging films by biopolymers (e.g., polysaccharides) has greatly increased, as they are nontoxic and biodegradable and can be produced or recovered from renewable resources, a feature that resolves ecolc cal problems for sustainable development. 

In September 2013, the French specialty chemicals manufacturer SEPPIC received the Pierre Potier award for chemistry innovations promoting sustainable development for its 100%-biobased hydrotrope heptylglucoside. This biodegradable hydrotrope is prepared from glucose and heptanol that is obtained from castor oil, using a process that complies with the 12 principles of green chemistry (Fig. 4)." ...
