  • Publication number: 20240018316
    Abstract: A polyester film includes a polyester (A) composed mainly of polybutylene terephthalate and a polyester (B) composed mainly of polyethylene terephthalate, wherein a mass ratio (A/B) between the polyesters (A) and (B) is 70/30 to 55/45, a dry heat shrinkage rate (B) through heat treatment at 200° C. for 15 minutes is 35% or less in any of four directions (0°, 45° 90° and 135°) on the film surface, a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of these dry heat shrinkage rates is 5% or less, a thickness variation in the four directions is 10% or less, and a crystallization index shown in DSC measurement is 25 to 55 J/g.

  • Publication number: 20030104989
    Abstract: Polymers derived from polymers represented by Formula (A) (d is 20˜500; and Rs, which may be the same or different, represent each H, alkyl or benzyl) by substituting a part or all of the consisting peptide bonds by (1) hydrazino-Glu (Formula B), and saccharide-modified Glu (Formula C) or by (2) hydorazino-Glu (Formula B), and saccharide-modified Glu (Formula C), and drug bonded Glu (Formula D). These polymers, which are carriers optionally bonded to drugs capable of migrating into target organs (cells), are useful as medicines.
