Abstract
Biodegradable polyesters have been widely used in biomedical engineering. Introduction of functional groups to polyesters will expand their applications. Herein, we developed a functionalizable copolyester with free hydroxyl groups (-OH) - poly (terephthaloyl diglyceride-co-1,2-cyclohexanediacyl diglyceride) (PTeCD). PTeCD was readily synthesized by acid-induced epoxide ring-opening polymerization in one step. Its structure was characterized by NMR and FTIR. PTeCD exhibited a good cytocompatibility and biodegradability. We expect PTeCD will be a useful polymer for biomedical applications.
