Abstract:
1. A biodegradable elastomeric polymer composition comprising, a cross-linked polyester having shape memory, said cross-linked polyester comprising a polymeric unit of monomers of glycerol and monomers of dodecanedioic acid, wherein the molar ratio of glycerol to dodecanedioic acid ranges from about 5:1 to about 1:5, wherein said elastomeric polymer composition exhibits stiff linear elastic/ductile plastic behavior by having a tensile Young's modulus ranging from about 67.2 to 155.7 megapascals (MPa) at 21° C. and exhibits compliant nonlinear elastic behavior with a tangent tensile Young's modulus ranging from about 0.25 MPa to about 2.6 MPa at 37° C. when measured according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D412-98a.
