Degradable cross-linkers which are used to form polymer networks which degrade under aqueous conditions are described. These cross-linkers comprise a central polyacid, monomeric or oligomeric degradable regions and an optional water soluble regions. These monomers are preferably polymerized using free radical or condensation polymerization. Degradation occurs at the ester linkages after cross-linking polymer filaments, and results in soluble polymer filaments which may be cleared from the body. Preferred applications of these materials include, for example, controlled release of drugs and cosmetics, tissue engineering, wound healing, hazardous waste remediation, metal chelation, swellable devices for absorbing liquids and the prevention of surgical adhesions.
可降解交联剂可用于形成在水性条件下降解的聚合物网络。这些交联剂由中心聚酸、单体或低聚物可降解区以及任选的水溶性区组成。这些单体最好采用自由基聚合或缩合聚合。在交联聚合物丝后,酯连接处会发生降解,从而产生可从体内清除的可溶性聚合物丝。这些材料的首选应用包括药物和化妆品的控释、组织工程、伤口愈合、有害废物修复、金属螯合、吸收液体的可膨胀装置以及防止手术粘连等。
