Chalcone and cinnamate bearing polyphosphazenes are disclosed. The polyphusphazenes contain a sufficient number of chalcone or cinnamate groups, or a combination thereof, to achieve a photocrosslinkable material. The phosphazene backbone is transparent from the near and mid-UV to the near infrared region, minimizing degradation of the skeleton both under the high intensity UV irradiation required for the photo-crosslinking reaction and during subsequent exposure to light disclosed. These photosensitive polyphosphazenes are useful for a variety of purposes, including in photolithography, photocurable coatings, for the stabilization of certain non-linear optical properties, and for use in the construction of biocompatible semi-permeable membranes which can be used to encapsulate living cells or other substances of implantation. |
