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 important for tailoring its performance in specific biomedical and industrial contexts.

The presence of hydroxyl end groups provides reactive sites for further chemical modification, covalent conjugation, or chain extension, thereby enhancing its versatility in synthesising block copolymers, cross-linked networks, and functionalised biomaterials. This reactive functionality expands its utility in advanced manufacturing, formulation processes, and the development of customised polymeric systems. Ongoing research continues to refine processing techniques to enhance its performance, reliability, and reproducibility across a growing range of applications.
