General description
Poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), a biodegradable polyester, contains unsaturated fumarate group which allows cross-linking of the polymer into a covalent polymer network and has been widely investigated for tissue engineering applications due to adjustable biodegradability, biocompatibility and mechanical performance.
Application
- A degradable scaffold material for bone tissue engineering
- Cross-linkable scaffolds synthesis
- In the drug delivery system
Features and Benefits
- Better biocompatibility and biodegradability
- Unsaturated fumarate sites for crosslinking
- Upon hydrolysis of PPF′s ester linkage, it degrades into biocompatible and excretable fumaric acid and propylene glycol

This protocol describes the synthesis of 500-4,000 Da poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) by a two-step reaction of diethyl fumarate and propylene glycol through a bis(hydroxypropyl) fumarate diester intermediate. Purified PPF can be covalently cross-linked to form degradable polymer networks, which have
