New dianhydrides containing t-butyl and phenyl pendant groups have been synthesized and used as monomers, together with commercial diamines, to prepare novel polyimides. The influence of the chemical structure of the monomers on their reactivity has been studied by quantum semiempirical methods. The

Abstract
We have designed a new synthesis route to create polyanhydrides based on monomers that contain hydrophilic entities within highly hydrophobic backbones. The method results in polyanhydrides that can be easily processed into drug‐containing tablets. The synthesis, characterization, and erosion studies of polyanhydride copolymers based on 1,6‐bis(p‐carboxyphenoxy)hexane (CPH), which is highly hydrophobic, and 1,8‐bis(p‐carboxyphenoxy)‐3,6‐dioxaoctane (CPTEG), which has hydrophilic oligomeric ethylene glycol segments in the monomer unit, was performed using a combination of molecular spectroscopy, thermal analysis, gravimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. The studies demonstrate that by increasing the CPH content in the CPTEG:CPH copolymers, the erosion of the system can be tailored from bulk‐eroding to surface‐eroding mechanism. These systems have promise as protein carriers. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2006
