Highly Elastic and Moldable Polyester Biomaterial for Cardiac Tissue Engineering Applications
Abstract
Polyester biomaterials are used in tissue engineering as scaffolds for implantation of tissues developed in vitro. An ideal biodegradable elastomer for cardiac tissue engineering exhibits a relatively low Young's modulus, with high elongation and tensile strength. Here we describe a novel polyester biomaterial that exhibits improved elastic properties for cardiac tissue engineering applications. We synthesized poly(octamethylene maleate …
