- at least one monomer including at least one functional group;
- and
- at least one crosslinker including at least two functional groups and at least one linkage susceptible to breakage to impart biodegradation to the polymer particle;
- wherein the polymer particle has a spherical diameter between about 40 μm and about 1,200 μm, and a circularity greater than about 0.9.
