Method for making a polymer, a polymer article, a biodevice, and cyclic carbonate

A cyclic carbonate monomer having:

• i. the formula (1)
• wherein Y is optional and represents the residue of a sulfhydryl reacted group, X represents a functional group reactive with a sulfhydryl group, L=—[CH2]n with n=0-10, or L=—[CH2]p-S—S—[CH2]q with p and q are 0-5 or L=-[PEG]- with PEG is a group that comprises a —[CH2CH2O]m- group with m=1-200, and R2 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl;
• ii. the formula (2)
• wherein R1 is hydrogen, R2 has the above identified meaning, and L represents a —CH2CH2- group, or a —CH2CH2SO2-PEG-group, wherein PEG represents an agent comprising at least one —[CH2CH2O]n- group, wherein n is 1-200;
• iii. the monomer of formula (1A)
• iv. the monomer of formula (1B)
• v. the monomer of formula (1C)
• vi. vii the monomer of formula (1 D)
• wherein R1 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R2 and L have the above identified meaning;
• vii. the formula (3)
• wherein Y represents a sulfhydryl reactive group, X represents a functional group reactive with sulfhydryl group, and R2 and PEG have the above identified meaning, and preferably of formula (3A)
• or formula (3B)
• and/or of formula (3C)
• wherein R2 and PEG have the above identified meaning,
• viii. the formula (2A) and/or the formula (2B):
• wherein R1, R2, and PEG have the above identified meaning.
