Synthetic biodegradable polymers are widely used in medicine and biology and are essential components of drug delivery vehicles, tissue engineering scaffolds, and biomedical devices. There is, therefore, great interest in designing new synthetic biodegradable polymers for biomedical applications. A key property that controls the function and effectiveness of biomedical polymers is their rate of degradation. In this review article, we will describe the physical and chemical mechanisms by which the major classes of biomedical polymers degrade. In particular, the hydrolysis of polyesters, polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters, and polyketals is discussed. The hydrolysis of these polymers by water is described, and the factors that influence their water hydrolysis rates are also discussed, such as catalysis of hydrolysis by acid, base, and enzymes. In addition, the physical factors that influence polymer hydrolysis rates will also be described, such as polymer crystallinity and hydrophobicity. We anticipate that this information will provide the basis for predicting the hydrolysis kinetics of synthetic polymers and will assist in the design of new polymers for biomedical applications.
