Project description
Recyclable and degradable dynamic poly(2-oxazoline) networks are proposed to be developed, by introducing dynamic crosslinkers into poly(2-oxazoline)s via post-polymerization. The processability, recyclability as well as the degradability of the synthesized dynamic networks will be evaluated. The resulting dynamic networks will be utilized in conjugation with drugs and serve as an excellent drug delivery platform in sustainable biomedical applications that can be processed through dynamic bond exchange enabling injectability, electrospinning and/or 3D printing.
