Polyester compositions, methods of manufacturing said compositions, and articles made therefrom

摘要

A composite article has a macroscopic combination of a crosslinked polyester composition and at least one other material. The polyesters may be polycondensation reaction products of a diol, a triol and a diacid. Preferably, these polyesters are biocompatible, bioabsorbable, or exhibit shape memory behaviour with at least one transition temperature of greater than about 30°C and less than about 100°C and most preferably exhibit each of these qualities. The compositions may be adapted for a wide variety of uses, including medical applications.
