- Abstract
One of the main branches of regenerative medicine is biomaterials research, which is designed to develop and study materials for regenerative therapies, controlled drug delivery systems, wound dressings, etc. Research is continually being conducted to find biomaterials—especially polymers—with better biocompatibility, broader modification possibilities and better application properties. This study describes a potential biomaterial, poly(1,4-butanediol citrate). The gelation time of poly(1,4-butanediol citrate) was estimated. Based on this, the limiting reaction time and temperature were determined to avoid gelling of the reaction mixture. Experiments with different process conditions were carried out, and the products were characterised through NMR spectra analysis. Using statistical methods, the functions were defined, describing the dependence of the degree of esterification of the acid groups on the following process parameters: temperature and COOH/OH group ratio. Polymer films from the synthesised polyester were prepared and characterised. The main focus was assessing the initial biocompatibility of the materials.
