Abstract
Biodegradable, cross-linked polymer films and methods of making the same are described. The polymer films can be used for preventing adhesions following surgery and/or delivering therapeutic agents.
Claims23
A polymer film comprising:
- at least one monomer including at least one functional group;
- and
- at least one crosslinker selected from bis-glycidyl amino alcohol, bi-functionalized methacryloyl-Ala-Pro-Gly-Leu-AEE-methacrylate,
- wherein a, b, c, d, e, and f are each independently 1-20;
- wherein the polymer film has a thickness between about 40 μm and about 1,200 μm and is biodegradable.

A method of making a polymer film comprising:
- reacting a prepolymer solution including at least one monomer including at least one functional group, at least one crosslinker susceptible to degradation, and an initiator;
- and
- forming the polymer film, wherein the polymer film has a thickness between about 40 μm and about 1,200 μm,
- wherein the at least one crosslinker is selected from bis-glycidyl amino alcohol, bi-functionalized methacryloyl-Ala-Pro-Gly-Leu-AEE-methacrylate,
- wherein a, b, c, d, e, and f are each independently 1-20.
