Title Biodegradable Triblock Copolymers, Synthesis Methods Therefore, and Hydrogels and Biomaterials Made Therefrom [Pg.455]

Patent Application Material Patentability Anticipated Issuing Date [Pg.455]

Research Focus Synthesis of amphiphilic terpolymers containing ethylene oxide and (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate and hydrogels containing cyclodextrin. Originality Ongoing 3-year investigation. [Pg.455]

Observations Poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] is an optically active biodegradable polyester [Pg.455]

A reactor was charged with poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate], diethylene glycol, dibutyltin dilaurate, and diglyme and then heated overnight and the telechelic hydroxylated prepolymer isolated and used without further purification. [Pg.456]
