Amorphous and Degradable Polymers Aimed for Tissue Engineering Synthesized by Radical Ring-Opening Polymerization

摘要

Versatile and degradable polyester-ethers aimed for biomedical applications have been synthesized. The use of substituted cyclic ketene acetals for radical ROP introduces new ways to incorporate functional groups into the polymeric backbone. By using this mechnism the synthesis of many functional aliphatic polyesters which otherwise are not possible with conventional ROP, are possible.
