Embodiment Construction
[0057] The present invention describes an effort to develop a new class of crosslinked, mechanically robust polymeric materials for orthopedic applications. In addition to conferring specific osteogenic signaling motifs, this approach includes enhancing mechanical properties. To mechanically strengthen polymers and stimulate specific biological activities, the present invention includes OGP-based cross-linkers. Peptide-crosslinked phenylalanine- and leucine-based poly(esterurea) (PEU) homopolymers were synthesized and utilized 0.5% and 1.0% OGP (10-14) tethers. Furthermore, the semi-crystallinity of poly(esterureas) provides a non-chemical means in which mechanical properties, chemical stability, and biodegradation rates can be tuned. This example details chemical, mechanical, in vitro and in vivo data demonstrating the enhanced modulus, biocompatibility and resorbability of poly(ester urea) materials. Further, the data here highlight many opportunities that society will fin...
