Abstract: The present invention comprises a method of making a polyethylene/methylane terephthalate copolymer with more desirable properties by the incorporation of a minor percentage of poly(methylene) components. Applicants have found, as demonstrated herein, that a small amount of this poly(methylene terephthalate) incorporated into the poly/ethylene terephthalate) serves to drastically depress the melting point. Such depression of melting points will make the production of fibers from melting polymers less expensive. Applicants have also found that the mixture with the depressed melting point has apparently less adherence to the surfaces of the equipment used to handle such molten polymers.

Abstract: The present invention involves an aspirin/polyglycolide complex, its preparation and use. The complex provides a stable aspirin source, slowly releasing aspirin by dissociation or during polyglycolide degradation in vivo.
