SEGMENTED ABSORBABLE COPOLYMER

摘要

A copolymer comprising a bioabsorbable, segmented molecular architecture has been invented. The copolymer has at least two different ester linkages. The segmented molecular architecture comprises a plurality of fast transesterifying linkages. The fast transesterifying linkages have a segment length distribution of greater than 1.3. The segmented molecular architecture also comprises a plurality of slow transesterifying linkages. The copolymer is useful as an article of manufacture, for example a molding resin, surgical element and controlled release device.
