Polyphosphazenes: Multifunctional, Biodegradable Vehicles for Drug and Gene Delivery

Poly[(organo)phosphazenes] are a unique class of extremely versatile polymers with a range of applications including tissue engineering and drug delivery, as hydrogels, shape memory polymers and as stimuli responsive materials. This review aims to divulge the basic principles of designing polyphosph...
