Abstract

Tyrosine-derived polycarbonates are currently in preclinical evaluations for biomedical applications. Although physical aging can significantly alter a wide range of polymer properties, physical aging is has rarely been investigated for biomedical polymers. A series of four tyrosine-derived polycarbonates was used as a model system to study the effect of polymer structure on the enthalpy relaxation kinetics.
