Chain arrangements and Interactions
 14 C : 5 O : 1 N, acrylate
terminated alternating
macromer
 H-bonding potential in
oxygen groups
 Hydrophobic interactions
from isobutyl group
 Steric hindrance /
entanglement
1.2:1 ratio of diacrylate:amine
Structure / Morphology
 Linear macromer
 Susceptible to polar, H-bonding, organic solvents
 Chemically or UV crosslinked to form hydrogel
 Free radical polymerization reaction
 This specific polymer is densely crosslinked
 Forms a flexible solid
Physical Properties of A6
• Modulus of 25 Mpa, which
is similar to the moduli for
elastomers and nonbiodegradable
polyurethanes.
• Total degradation time was
greater than three months
• Generally hydrophobic gel
and exhibits low swelling in
aqueous conditions.
Figure 1: Degradation time for four separate poly(β-amino ester).
The percent mass loss was measured over the course of 100 days.
Additives
 PEGylation
 Increase hydrophilicity
 ‘Stealth’ drug carrier
 Iron oxide nanoparticles
 Remote degradation
 Drugs!
 Hydrophobic drugs = slow, degradation and diffusion-based
release
 Hydrophilic drugs = rapid, diffusive release
 Porogen
Source comparison
 Internet – Great for journal articles. Difficult to find
monomer properties and reaction information
 SciFinder Scholar – monomer properties, journal articles.
Do not have to sift through “bad” references.
 Polymer Handbook (4th Ed): index of monomer properties,
including CAS registry #. Slower to use then SciFinder or
internet, but more convenient once you have the actual book
