A biodegradable and biocompatible PVA-citric acid polyester with potential applications as matrix for vascular tissue engineering

03 Apr.,2023

 

The company has a group of cooperation teams engaged in the Wholesale pva polyester polyvinyl alcohol industry for many years, with dedication, innovation spirit and service awareness, and has established a sound quality control and management system to ensure product quality.

Unique elastomeric and biocompatible scaffolds were produced by the polyesterification of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and citric acid via a simple polycondensation reaction. The physicochemical characterization of the materials was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), mechanical and surface property analyses. The materials are hydrophilic and have viscoelastic nature. Biodegradable, non-cytotoxic materials that can be tailored into 3D scaffolds could be prepared in an inexpensive manner. This polyester has potential implications in vascular tissue engineering application as a biodegradable elastomeric scaffold.
