Synthesis and Characterization of a New Degradable Poly(ester amide) Derived from 6-Amino-1-hexanol and Glutaric Acid

Abstract: An alternating poly(ester amide) constituted by 6-amino-1-hexanol and glutaric units has been synthesized by different ways involving solution or thermal polycondensation. Results of the synthesis are compared, and the occurrence of a thermal degradation through imide ring formation is demonstrated. Hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation of the new polymer has been evaluated by means of weight loss measures and changes in intrinsic viscosity or by analysis of NMR spectra. Thermal properties and crystallization k… Show more

“…The intense CO stretch at 1712 cm −1 confirmed the formation of ester bonds. This was similar with reported results for other poly(ester amide)s 13, 27. The characteristic ethylene oxide stretching bands at 1118 cm −1 were observed as well.…”

“…There has been growing interest in poly(ester amide)s because these polymers may offer an interesting combination of properties: a high degradability caused by the ester linkages and good mechanical properties caused by the establishment of hydrogen bonds between amide groups. A number of poly(ester amide)s varying either in chemical structure and/or microstructure have been described by various authors 1–13. Moreover, the product of BAK 1095, which corresponds to a random poly(ester amide) derived from 1,4‐butaediol, adipic acid, and caprolactame by Bayer, has recently been commercialized 14, 15.…”

“…Amino acid‐based biodegradable poly(ester‐amide) (PEA) has been widely investigated due to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and designability . Ester and amide bonds in the polymer backbone provide PEAs with the properties of both polyester and polyamides.…”

“…Polyglycolide 3 and poly(tetramethylene succinate), 4 with melting temperatures of 235 and 114 8C respectively, are exceptions to this rule and are also examples of polyesters employed as specialities and commodities, respectively. Different poly(ester amide)s with a statistical, 5,6 blocky, 7,8 or sequential [9][10][11][12] nature have been synthesized and characterized. However, structural studies on polymers with a regular disposition of amide and ester groups are scarce since the structural resolution is hindered by their relatively large repeat units.…”
