Properties and Specifications

Poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) is a highly amorphous, aliphatic polycarbonate characterized by its light yellow to tan solid appearance. The material boasts a glass transition temperature (Tg) of approximately -15°C, offering a wide range of processing temperatures. Its molecular weight is not specified, but it features a linear formula of (C₄H₆O₃)_n. Key properties include low viscosity, which contributes to ease of use, and a biodegradation time of approximately weeks, making it suitable for applications that require controlled degradation over time.

Applications and Benefits

PTMC is a preferred material for 3D printing flexible tissue scaffolds in biomedical applications. The ability to tailor molecular weights and monomer ratios allows for more control over rigidity and biodegradation rate, catering to specific application needs. With a focus on biocompatibility and environmental sustainability, PTMC copolymers with PCL, PLLA, and PDLLA are designed to enhance performance and meet the demands of various medical devices and tissue engineering applications. Whether you are a researcher, engineer, or manufacturer, PTMC offers a robust platform for developing innovative solutions in the healthcare industry.
