The polymer is structurally similar to nucleic and teichoic acids. It undergoes biodegrade through hydrolysis and possibly enzymatic digestion. One of the few classes of polymers for non-viral gene delivery by conjugation of charged groups to the side chain of the phosphate.This biodegradable polymer is soluble in a variety of organic acids.

Polymers with repeating phosphoester bonds in the backbone are structurally versatile, and biodegradable through hydrolysis, and possibly enzymatic digestion at the phosphoester linkages under physiological conditions. These biodegradable polyphosphoesters are appealing for biological and pharmaceutical applications because of their potential
