  • FUNCTIONALIZED POLY(GLYCEROL SEBACATE)S AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230181793
    Abstract: Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) polymers, which may be referred to as a functionalized poly(glycerol sebacate) polymers. The PGS polymers include pendant aliphatic carboxyl ate groups and/or pendant aryl carboxyl ate groups covalently bound to the glycerol group of the glycerol sebacate backbone of the polymer. Polymeric materials including a plurality of glycerol sebacate groups, where at least a portion of the individual glycerol sebacate groups have a pendant aliphatic carboxylate group and/or pendant aryl carboxyl ate group covalently bound to the glycerol group of the glycerol sebacate group. The PGS polymers or polymeric materials may be crosslinked PGS polymers or polymeric materials. The PGS polymers and polymeric materials may be made by post-polymerization functionalization. The PGS polymers and polymeric materials may be in fiber form. A material, which may be a fabric, may include a fiber or plurality of fibers. A material may be used to form a tissue graft.
