Abstract
Poly(1,3-trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) synthesized by diethylzinc-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization was characterized by its thermal and mechanical properties, permeability, and susceptibility to hydrolytic chain scission in vitro and in vivo. Mark-Houwink coefficients were derived from viscometry and GPC measurements. The rate of hydrolytic chain scission of solid PTMC in phosphate-buffered saline at 37°C, pH 7.4, was approximately 20 times less than that of poly(e-caprolactone); this rate difference was eliminated when the two polymers were compared in solution in aqueous THF. PTMC implanted subcutaneously in rats was degraded by enzymatic degradation process
