General description

Poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate) is biocompatible in nature. The structure of the polymer remains rigid even after absorbing water up to 75%.[1] Large diffusion of water results in lowering of glass transition temperature.[2]

Application

Poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate) may find potential uses in medical implants.[2]
