1 Lecture Biomaterials Surfaces: Chemistry ydrolysis Supporting notes 1

2 ydrolysis ydrolysis is a kind of Solvolysis, solvent + lysis: cleavage by the solvent. 2 + Br ydoloysis Br C 3 C 3 + Br Methanolysis C C + Br Formic acidolysis 2-Bromo-2-methyl propane 2

3 Polymer ydrolysis Polymers prepared by polycondensation can be susceptible to hydrolysis. n n + 1,4-Butanediol Succinic acid As, Zn catalysts, Δ +, -, or enzyme * * n + n2 Poly(butylene succinate), PBS 3

4 ydrolysable is degradable. Synthetic polymers Polyesters Polyamides Polyanhydrides Polyethers Polyurethanes Polycarbonates Polyureas Material properties can be tuned readily. Cheaper! Naturally-occurring polymers Proteins and polyamides Collagen Fibrinogen and fibrin Gelatin Casein Polysaccharides Cellulose Starch and amylose Chitin and chitosan Dextran Polynucleotides DNA and RNA 4

5 Biodegradation: An event which takes place through the action of enzymes and/or chemical decomposition associated with living organisms (bacteria, fungi, etc.) or their secretion products. Albertsson and Karlsson, in Chemistry and Technology of Biodegradable Polymers 1994 R C N R C R C Polyester Polyamide Polycarbonate R R R' C R C N P R' R" Polyanhydride Polyphosphazene Poly(ortho ester) Typical examples of synthetic biodegradable polymers 5

6 Key factors in hydrolysis 1. Bond stability Example: ydrolysis of polyester C δ + δ - Base-catalyzed polyester hydrolysis δ - δ + R C R' - R C - R' - R C R' + R C + R 6
