Abstract
The goal of this one-year project will be to demonstrate the viability of unsaturated polyesters from isosorbide as a material for resobable medical devices developed by high resolution 3D printing. Viability studies include achieving 3 goals: (1) synthesis of sufficient quantities of low molecular weight but highly crosslinkable isosorbide polyesters for 3D printing testes. (2) Demonstration of low viscosity either in native material or mixed with a biocompatible solvent. (3) Photocrosslinking of relatively low molecular weight, low viscosity isosorbide unsaturated polyesters. (AU)
