Synthesis of a chemically-crosslinked biodegradable star copolymer

Synthesis of a chemically-crosslinked biodegradable star copolymer

In the field of biomedical polymers, a strong, yet elastic, biodegradable polymer is required for various in-vivo purposes. This project focused on the synthesis of a chemically-crosslinked, biodegradable copolymer based on polycaprolactone and polylactide. The synthesis of the random copolymer was...
