BIO-COMPATIBLE POLYMERIC MATERIAL

摘要

A method of preparing a polymeric material, the method including the steps of: (i) polycondensing at least one compound selected from each of groups (a) to (c) optionally in the presence of a compound selected from group (d) to prepare a polycondensation product, wherein at least one of the compounds selected from groups (a) to (d) is a polymer or a polymerisable monomer and wherein groups (a) to (d) include the following: (a) a compound having an aldehydic or ketonic carbonyl or imine functional group; (b) a compound having an isonitrile functional group; (c) water or a compound having an acid and/or nucleophilic functional group; and (d) ammonia or hydrazine or a compound having a primary or secondary amine functional group or a hydrazine functional group; and (ii) optionally derivatising the polycondensation product.
