Abstract

Xylitol-based polyesters such as poly(xylitol sebacate) PXS are said to be the potential new materials for tissue engineering due to their adjustable mechanical and degradation properties.However, the result indicates that the elastomers are very soft and have a low elongation at break.Therefore, to increase the mechanical strength and minimize the rate of degradation, glutamic acid was added as t...
