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,
## Abstract This study examined the effect of ethylene oxide (EtO) and electron beam (e‐beam) irradiation on the properties of 70:30 poly(L‐lactide‐__co__‐D,L‐lactide). The effects of sterilization upon the polymer physical characteristics and strength retention of the material were examined, both
## Abstract Marrow‐derived osteoblasts were cultured on poly(propylene fumarate‐__co__‐ethylene glycol) (P(PF‐__co__‐EG)) based hydrogels modified in bulk with a covalently linked RGDS model peptide. A poly(ethylene glycol) spacer arm was utilized to covalently link the peptide to the hydrogel. Thr
## Abstract Long term __in vivo__ degradation, and tissue response to, cylindrical elastomers made of photo‐cross‐linked star‐poly(ε‐caprolactone‐__co__‐D,L‐lactide) triacrylate were investigated through subcutaneous implantation in rats. The elastomers were prepared via UV initiated crosslinking o
