1. 1. Synthetic Pathways to Aliphatic Polyesters and Scaffold Design

   Författare :Therese Tyson; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Elisabetta Ranucci; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Sammanfattning : As the field of tissue engineering progresses, a continuous development of scaffold fabrication techniques and suitable degradable materials is required to obtain scaffolds with tunable characteristics. This thesis has focused on the development of pathways to synthesize degradable aliphatic polyesters and on the design of highly porous scaffolds from this class of materials. LÄS MER

3. 2. Synthesis of Biomedical Polymers and Scaffold Design

   Författare :Therese Tyson; Ann-Christine Albertsson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ring-opening polymerization; tin alkoxide initiator; stannous octoate; poly p-dioxanone ; copolymer; L-lactide; trimethylene carbonate; degradable porous scaffold; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Sammanfattning : This work has focused on the development of new improved synthesis methods of biodegradable aliphatic polymers and on the preparation of porous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. The aim of the first part of the work was the synthesis of poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDX) homopolymers with high molecular weights using the cyclic tin alkoxide initiator 1-di-n-butyl-1-stanna-2,5-dioxacyclopentane.
