Biosourced amphiphilic degradable elastomers of poly(glycerol sebacate): Synthesis and network and oligomer characterization
Kafouris, Demetris; Kossivas, Fotis; Constantinides, Christakis; Nguyễn, Như Quỳnh; Wesdemiotis, Chrystostomos; Patrickios, Costas S. (2013)Glycerol (G, a triol) and sebacic acid (S, an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid) were condensed in the bulk to obtain poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) cross-linked elastomers which were characterized in terms of their swelling, thermal, ...
