Abstract

Polyester/silicon co-crosslinked polymer substrates at least partially degradable by hydrolysis, well adopted as matrices for the controlled release of a wide variety of active agents therefrom, are prepared by controlledly co-crosslinking (a) at least one diorganopolysiloxane having at least two hydroxyl groups per molecule and (b) an oligomeric polylactic and/or polyglycolic polyester .alpha.,.omega.-diol, with an effective co-crosslinking amount of (c) an organic polyisocyanate.
