Poly(1,4-butanediol succinate) copolymers were prepared by melt polycondensation of succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol with 10Γ50 mol% (in feed) of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), where molecular weight (MW) of PEG is 200Γ 2000. The reduced speciΓc viscosity of the copolymers increased with incorporation

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments were introduced into a polyanhydride main chain by copolymerization of terminal-carboxylated poly(ethylene glycol) with diacidic monomers (sebacic acid and trimellitylimidoglycine). IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy conΓΌrmed the copolymer structures. DSC analysis showed
The degradation of poly(propylene fumarate-coethylene glycol) hydrogels was examined in vitro in phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.4 and in vivo in a subcutaneous rat model. These hydrogels have potential application as biodegradable, injectable cardiovascular stents, and, as such, their mass loss,
