Biocompatible and biodegradable polyurethane polymers.

This study deals with the opportunities for the synthesis of biocompatible and biodegradable polyurethane adhesives which are suitable for application as wound dressings. Three different synthetic possibilities have been investigated. The relationships between some reaction factors and the final properties of the obtained products are pointed out. The toxicity of the investigated urethane acrylates, polyurethanes and combined polyurethane adhesives is also studied.
