Abstract:
A novel class of Cylic Acetal biomaterials (CABs) based on a cyclic acetal unit is disclosed and claimed by Applicants. Two novel biomaterials suitable for use in a variety of biological applications including in the orthopedic field for joint and cartilage replacement and/or repair, and bone cement. The biomaterials are comprised of either a network of monomers of 5-ethyl-5-(hydroxymethyl)-β,β-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-2-ethanol diacrylate (EHD) and a hydrogel comprised of EHD and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEG-EHD).
