A Highly Tunable Biocompatible and Multifunctional Biodegradable Elastomer

Abstract

Biodegradable elastomers synthesized under mild conditions with highly tunable mechanical properties are described. These elastomeric biomaterials are biocompatible, exhibit minimal deformation following cyclical tensile loading, and permit tight control over the release kinetics of encapsulated bioactive molecules. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer reviewed and may be re-organized for online delivery, but are not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues arising from supporting information (other than missing files) should be addressed to the authors.
