Polyphosphazenes for medical applications
Ian Teasdale (Author), Oliver Brüggemann (Author)
Polyphosphazenes are a unique family of inorganic polymers with an unparalleled broad spectrum. of properties. Furthermore, these properties can be easily fine-tuned by organic side-group substituents to give poly(organo)phosphazenes with precisely desired characteristics making them valuable tools to prepare multifunctional, advanced materials for biomedical applications. Bioerodible poly(organo)phosphazenes are of particular interest and with suitable organic substituents their rate of degradation can be tailored to give materials ranging from highly biostable to rapidly hydrolysable, with p
