Patents by Inventor Rae Sung Chang

Rae Sung Chang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230201121
    Abstract: A drug delivery system comprises a porous, self-healing biodegradable polymer matrix having a ionic, charged, biopolymer and a pH modifying species disposed within the pores. An ionic macromolecule having the opposite charge binds the biopolymer and forms a nonsoluble polyelectrolyte complex. The molecular weight of the biopolymer, the self healing polymer matrix, the concentration of pore forming agent and the concentration of the pH modifying species are selected for optimal binding and release of the macromolecule.
    Type: Application
