Additional Information

PTMC, Poly(trimethylene carbonate), is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer widely studied in the field of biomedical materials. Known for its amorphous nature, it exhibits excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and remains in a rubbery state with inherent elasticity at body temperature. Its adjustable degradation profile and processability make it well-suited for applications such as soft tissue engineering, flexible implants, and controlled drug delivery systems. Understanding the relationship between its molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity is essential for tailoring its performance in specific biomedical and industrial contexts.

The incorporation of lauryl ester termination further modifies the polymer's hydrophobicity, solubility, and compatibility with various matrices, thereby expanding its utility in advanced manufacturing and formulation processes. Ongoing research continues to refine processing techniques to enhance its performance, reliability, and reproducibility across a growing range of applications.
