Design of novel monomers for applications in hydrolytically degradable thermoplastic elastomers

This thesis explores the synthesis of novel monomers in the design of hydrolytically degradable materials with defined physical and chemical properties using a selection of coupling and polymerisation techniques. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of hydrolytically degradable polymers, namely polyeste...
