Abstract: The invention relates to a polymer for tissue engineering from biodegradable polyphosphazenes, having photopolymerizable side groups, wherein the side groups of the polyphosphazenes are formed exclusively from amino acids and/or amino acid derivatives, which are bonded to the backbone of the polyphosphazene via the amino group of the amino acid and to a spacer attached to the acid group with a carbon chain of length m, which has a vinyl group at the free end, wherein m=0 to m=10.
