Synthesis of unsaturated biodegradable poly (ester amide)s and study of their thermal and mechanical properties

4Biodegradable poly(ester amide)s of different structures containing unsaturated double bonds in main chain are received: homopoly(ester amide)s (UPEA) with 100% content of fumaric acid residues, unsaturated/saturated poly(ester amide)s (USPEA) with <100% content of fumaric acid residues, and saturated copoly(ester amide)s of L-leucine and L-phenylalanine with 100% content of fumaric acid residues. Their thermal properties are studied with the purpose of determination of application area and possibilities of cross-linking of unsaturated poly(ester amide)s using UV irradiation are shown.
