BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL

摘要

The objective of the present invention is to provide a biodegradable material having improved flexibility, an increased percentage of shape recovery after the material has been deformed, and improved biodegradability. The present invention provides a biodegradable material resulting from chemically crosslinking: a polyvalent compound (A) having at least three functional groups (X) such as hydroxyl groups; a polyvalent compound (B) having at least three functional groups such as carboxyl groups; and a compound (C) having a structure derived from a hydroxycarboxylic acid and having a glass transition point of the homopolymerized homopolymer thereof of no greater than -40°C.
