New materials: multifunctional hydrophilic polymers

Different types of multifunctional hydrophilic polymers were synthesized and characterized in view of their possible biomedical application. Several poly(amide)s and poly(ester-amide)s containing oligo(oxyethylene) segments and tartaric or succinic acid residues were prepared by activated polycondensation methods. New functional derivatives of beta-cyclodextrin were obtained by reaction with glycidyl ether of protected polyols. The mechanism of beta-cyclodextrin polymerization with epichlorohydrine was investigated by C-13-NMR spectroscopy
