Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Developments in Ring Opening Polymerization of Lactones for Biomedical Applications
TL;DR: This review presents the various methods of the synthesis of polyesters and tailoring the properties by proper control of molecular weight, composition, and architecture so as to meet the stringent requirements of devices in the medical field.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Lactic Acid to Poly(lactic acid) (PLA): Characterization and Analysis of PLA and Its Precursors
TL;DR: The significance of the analyses for the different polymer production stages is considered, and special applications of the methods for studying features specific for PLA-based materials are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of biodegradation of polyethylene
TL;DR: In this article, an explanation of this behavior is presented as a proposed mechanism for the biodegradation of polyethylene, compared with abiotic photooxidation, Norrish type I and II degradation, and, on the other hand, with the biotic paraffin degradation.
Book ChapterDOI
Aliphatic Polyesters: Synthesis, Properties and Applications
TL;DR: The synthesis of aliphatic polyesters by polycondensation and ring-opening polymerization is reviewed in this paper, which includes homopolyesters, random, block, graft, star, and hyper-branched polyesters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable and electrically conducting polymers for biomedical applications
TL;DR: Conducting polymers have been widely used in biomedical applications such as biosensors and tissue engineering but their non-degradability still poses a limitation.
