摘要:
The present invention provides a low molecular mass PPF polymer (and related methods) that is suitable for 3D printing and other polymer device fabrication modalities and can be made inexpensively in commercially reasonable quantities. These novel low molecular mass PPF polymers have a low molecular mass distribution (m) and a wide variety of potential uses, particularly as a component in resins for 3D printing of medical devices. The ability to produce low m PPF creates a new opportunity for reliable GMP production of PPF. It provides low cost synthesis and scalability of synthesis, blending of well-defined mass and viscosity PPF, and reduced reliance on solvents or heat to (a) achieve mixing of 3D printable resins or (b) and flowability during 3D printing. These PPF polymers are non-toxic, degradable, and resorbable and can be used in tissue scaffolds and medical devices that are implanted within a living organism.

A family of new and novel molecules for mechanically superior two-dimensional (2D) polymers is described herein. By combining stiff carbon-containing cyclic polymer nodal units with more compliant linear polymer bridge units in an ordered, 2D repeating molecular structure it is possible to tailor the mechanical properties of 2D polymers and their assemblies to provide high stiffness, strength, and toughness. Furthermore, the inherent dimensionality of 2D polymers and their ability to be stacked into ordered and chemically interactive ensembles gives them inherent benefits in a variety of barrier and structural applications over current stiff and strong linear polymer technologies.

A method for producing a lactide block copolymer, to a lactide block copolymer and to an article including the lactide block copolymer. In particular, the instant invention relates to an improved lactide block copolymer which may be obtained by providing a polymer of a first lactide monomer including a residual amount of the first monomer, adding and polymerizing a first amount of a second monomer of opposite chirality and subsequently adding and polymerizing a second amount of the second monomer. The resulting lactide block copolymer generally has a high melting point (e.g. from 190 to 250° C.).
