General description

Poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), a biodegradable polyester, contains unsaturated fumarate group which allows cross-linking of the polymer into a covalent polymer network and has been widely investigated for tissue engineering applications due to adjustable biodegradability, biocompatibility and mechanical performance.

Application

  • A degradable scaffold material for bone tissue engineering
  • Cross-linkable scaffolds synthesis
  • In the drug delivery system

Features and Benefits

  • Better biocompatibility and biodegradability
  • Unsaturated fumarate sites for crosslinking
  • Upon hydrolysis of PPF′s ester linkage, it degrades into biocompatible and excretable fumaric acid and propylene glycol


Storage Class

10 - Combustible liquids
