## Abstract Several strategies have been used to increase the biostability of medicalโgrade polyurethanes while maintaining biocompatibility and mechanical properties. One approach is to chemically modify or replace the susceptible soft segment. Currently, poly(carbonate urethanes) (PCUs) are being
## Abstract This study compared the effect of an antioxidant on the __in vivo__ biodegradation of a poly(carbonate urethane) (PCU) and a poly(ether urethane) (PEU). Unstrained PEU and PCU films with and without Santowhiteยฎ were implanted subcutaneously into 3โmonthโold SpragueโDawley rats for 3, 6,
## Abstract **Summary:** In this work, we synthesized two MDIโbased polyurethanes, including a poly(ether)urethane (PEU) and a poly(carbonate)urethane (PCU), by using different soft segments, poly(tetramethylene oxide) and poly(hexyl, ethyl)carbonate diol ($\overline M$โโผโ2โ000). We demonstrated th
## Abstract This study used an __in vitro__ environment that simulated the microenvironment at the adherent cellโmaterial interface to reproduce and accelerate the biodegradation of poly(ether urethane) (PEU) and poly(carbonate urethane) (PCU). Polyurethane films were treated __in vitro__ for 24 da
