Method for the one-step programming of the three-shape plastics

Process for the production of nanoporous foamed active substance-containing preparations, wherein the active substance is present embedded in a pharmaceutically acceptable polymer, wherein, in stage a) loading of a polymeric molding composition or a polymer melt with a propellant is effected at a pressure and at a temperature at which the propellant is in the supercritical state, in stage b) heating of the laden polymer molding compound or melt is carried out under pressure at a temperature which lies in the range from &#x2212;40 to +60&#xb0; C., preferably &#x2212;20 to +55&#xb0; C., and especially preferably 0 to +50&#xb0; C. around the glass transition temperature of the unladen (prior to loading) polymeric molding compound and in stage c) a depressurization of the polymeric molding compound or melt laden in stage a) and heated under pressure in stage b) is effected out with a depressurization rate in the range from 15,000 to 200,000 MPa/sec.

Nanoporous foamed active compound-containing preparations based on pharmaceutically acceptable thermoplastically workable polymers

The invention relates to a shape memory polymer, to a process for its production and to a process for its programming. The inventive shape memory polymer has at least two switching segments with different transition temperatures (T, T) such that the polymer, depending on the temperature, as well as a permanent shape (PF), can also assume at least two temporary shapes (TF, TF). The first switching segment is based essentially on a polyester of the general formula (I) where n=1 . . . 6 or a copolyester of the general formula (I) with different n or a derivative thereof. The second switching segment is based essentially on a polyacrylate of the general formula (II) in which R is H or CH, and Ris a saturated or unsaturated, cyclic or aliphatic, unsubstituted or substituted C1-C10 radical.
