In this paper, photodegradation test of PCE was performed by exposure to UV light. The mechanical properties and the inherent viscosity of PCE samples which are subjected to photodegradation were determined. The experimental results indicated that poly (ethylene glycol) (PEO) segment in PCE copolymer is photosensitive. The photodegra-dation rate of the PCE was increased with increasing poly (ethylene glycol) content.展开更多
文摘The biodegradation behavior in vitro and in vivo of polycaprolactone-poly (ethylene glycol) block copolymer (PCE) was reported in detail.
