Patent AT-E399535-T1: [Translated] METHOD FOR PRODUCING MICROPARTICLES WITH A SELECTED POLYMER MOLECULAR WEIGHT

The present invention provides a method for preparing microparticles having a selected polymer molecular weight. The hold time and temperature of a solution containing a nucleophilic compound and a polymer having a starting molecular weight are controlled in order to control the molecular weight of the polymer in the finished microparticle product. In this manner, a selected polymer molecular weight in the finished microparticle product can be achieved from a variety of starting material molecular weights.
