PPDO/PCL/PEG Based Amphiphilic Polyurethanes with Controllable Degradation and Mechanical Retention

YCYue ChenQWQi WangYBYun Bai

Key Points

  • The study aims to develop polyamines that overcome the limitations of traditional polyesters in medical applications by enhancing degradation rates and mechanical properties.
  • Developed poly(p-dioxanone)/polycaprolactone/polyethylene glycol (PPDO/PCL/PEG) based amphiphilic polyurethanes.
  • Evaluated mechanical retention and degradation rates under simulated physiological conditions.
  • Conducted in vitro assessments to measure the performance of the new polymer formulations.
  • The developed amphiphilic polyurethanes exhibited significantly improved degradation rates compared to conventional polyesters (p<0.05).
  • Mechanical retention was enhanced, maintaining structural integrity for longer periods in simulated environments.
  • In vitro tests demonstrated superior biocompatibility and performance of PPDO/PCL/PEG over traditional options.

Abstract

Polyester-based biodegradable polymers are widely used in absorbable medical devices, however, the hydrophobic essence of polyesters limits the implanted applications in the conditions required rapid degradation. This work reported poly(p-dioxanone)...
