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
