Polyurethane elastomers derived from 4,4 ' -methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate), butylene glycol and the low oxyethylene moiety content copolyether of tetrahydrofuran and ethylene oxide, obtained by copolymerization ...Polyurethane elastomers derived from 4,4 ' -methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate), butylene glycol and the low oxyethylene moiety content copolyether of tetrahydrofuran and ethylene oxide, obtained by copolymerization using heteropolyacid-ethylene oxide initiator system, were prepared. The polyurethanes exhibited an increased water absorption and much better low temperature resilience, which remained high even at a temperature of -3 degreesC, while that of polyurethane based upon poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol of the 'same molecular weight, i.e. being 2000, and molecular weight distribution, i.e, in the range of 1.4-1.5, starts to decrease dramatically at 5 degreesC.展开更多

The new copolymer has improved hydrophilicity and flexibility. The structure and properties of the novel polymers were studied by FTIR, NMR, GPC-MALLS and DSC.展开更多
Poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) with weight-average molar mass over 10000 g/mol was synthesized by microwave-assisted ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone (e-CL) with maleic acid (MA) as initiator (2.45 GHz, 360 W...Poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) with weight-average molar mass over 10000 g/mol was synthesized by microwave-assisted ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone (e-CL) with maleic acid (MA) as initiator (2.45 GHz, 360 W, 85 min). Ibuprofen-PCL controlled release system was prepared directly by the ROP of e-CL in its mixture with ibuprofen. The release of ibuprofen from the system was sustained and steady.展开更多

In this work, a novel copolymer poly (e-caprolactone)-b-poly (carboxybetaine methacrylate) (PCL-PCBMA) containing zwitterion and polyester segments, was synthesized through ATRP technique. The chemical structure, composition,and molecular weight of the synthesized copolymer were characterized by ~HNMR and GPC. The polymer was further electrospun into fibrous film which has been characterized by SEM, XPS, water uptake test, and MTT cell culture assay. All these results indicate that this kind of copolymer is a suitable candidate for the application in vascular tissue engineering.展开更多
