| Abstract | Soft polyester elastomers have emerged as a promising family of biodegradable materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering. Specifically referring to soft tissue engineering, potential biomaterials should be elastic and flexible, so as to mimic the mechanical properties of natural tissue. Herein, we report the design of several elastomers based on the polycondensation of erythritol, a sugar substitute that is approved for human consumption by the Food and Drug Administration, and one of eight dicarboxylic acids: glutaric, adipic, pimelic, suberic, azelaic, sebacic, dodecanedioic, and tetradecanedioic acids. By varying the length of the diacid and the curing conditions, several elastomers were designed with a range of physical and mechanical properties. Poly(erythritol glutarate), poly(erythritol adipate), poly(erythritol pimelate), poly(erythritol suberate), poly(erythritol azelate), poly(erythritol sebacate) poly(erythritol dodecanedioate), and poly(erythritol tetradecanedioate) achieved Young's modulus, ultimate tensile stress, and rupture strain values of 0.08–80.37 MPa, 0.14–16.65 MPa, and 22–466%, respectively. Additionally, as tissue engineering may require the use of complex 3-dimensional designs, embossed films and porous films were designed in order to demonstrate the ease of processing. Hydrolytic degradation rates ranging from 100% in 3 weeks to 6.4% in 6 weeks were obtained in phosphate-buffered saline solutions at 37 °C. Finally, in vitro cytotoxicity was studied with Swiss albino 3T3 fibroblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells. Based on these results, we believe that the poly(erythritol dicarboxylate) series are excellent candidates for potential soft biomaterials. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
