Abstract:
PURPOSE: A porous supporter for tissue engineering obtained from a copolymer of biodegradable glycolide/ε-caprolactone having excellent mechanical properties such as flexibility and elasticity and biodegradability is provided which can be effectively used as material for regenerating tissue of desired shapes. CONSTITUTION: This porous supporter is prepared from a biodegradable glycolide/ε -caprolactone copolymer having a recurring unit of formula 1 and a weight average molecular weight of 10,000. In formula, x and y are each 18 or more. The porous supporter has a pore size of 1 to 800 microns and a porosity of 50 to 99%.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A star-shaped glycolide/epsilon-caprolactone co-polymer and a preparation method thereof are provided, which has a weight average molecular weight over 30,000 and a low melting viscosity. CONSTITUTION: A preparation method of star-shaped biodegradable glycolide/epsilon-caprolactone co-polymer of formula 1 comprises: in the presence of ring-opening polymerization catalyst of glycolide/epsilon-caprolactone, performing a ring-opening polymerization by heating glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone through using polyhydric alcohol as polymerization initiator under vacuum pressure. The polyhydric alcohol is selected from the group of glycerol, penta-erythritol, di-penta-erythritol, tri-penta-erythritol, sorbitol, poly-vinyl alcohol, poly-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate, and poly-hydroxy propyl methacrylate. The catalyst is selected from the group of tetra-phenyl tin, tin powder, stannous octoate, tin chloride, tin oxide, zinc powder, di-ethyl zinc octoate, zinc chloride, and zinc oxide.
Abstract:
The acrylic acid alkali metal salt resin is prepd. by steps: (A) polymerising acrylic acid and acrylic acid alkali metal salt in presence of crosslinking agent and radical polymerising initiator in alicyclic hydrocarbon org. solvent; (B) after-polymerising the carboxyl gp. of the obtd. polymer with water soluble diglycidyl ether; (C) adding low molecular water soluble polymer selected from polyehylene glycol or hydroxyethyl cellulose. The sametimely crosslinking agent is selected from diacrylate, triacrylate, polyethyleneglycol di(meth)acrylate or alkylenebisacryl amide of polyol having more two polymerisable functional gp.. The solvent contains 3-6 HLB surfactant and 8-15 HLB surfactant.
