NEW POLYMERS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATION; SYNTHESIS AND POLYMERIZATION OF MALOLACTONATE ESTERS
Biodegradable polymers, derived from multifunctional hydroxyacids for slow release biomedical applications, were the objectives of this investigation. Poly((beta)-malic acid) was prepared by the ring opening polymerization of benzyl malolactonate, followed by hydrogenolysis of the resulting benzyl e...
