Abstract:
Poly( p dioxanone) (PPDO), a kind of aliphatic poly(esterether) with good biodegradability, biocompatibilty and bioabsorbability, has been successfully used as biomaterials. Its excellent mechanical performance and unique recyclability make it a promising candidate for replacing the existing disposable plastic products. Synthesis, crystalline structures and properties of PPDO, especially the crystallization behavior, thermal stability and degradation, rheological behavior and mechanical properties of PPDO, are reviewed. PPDO/clay nanocomposites and PPDO/starch blends are also discussed.
