Poly(anhydride) are unstable and prone to hydrolytic degradation and depolymerisation via anhydride interchange. They are stored at -20°C, packed under inert atmosphere until use. We synthesized a new poly(anhydride) from ricinoleic (RA) and sebacic (SA) acid with alternating ester-anhydride structure that is stable at 25°C for over 18months. The copolymer is also stable in chloroform solution and under γ-irradiation. The polymer hydrolyses through anhydride cleavage lasting ~7days to form oligoesters, which are stable for >30days. The release of gentamycin from the synthesized alternate polymer matrix is sustained compared to the random copolymer.

Mechanical loading plays a pivotal role in regulating bone anabolic processes. Understanding the optimal mechanical loading parameters for cellular responses is critical for advancing strategies in orthopedic bioreactor-based bone tissue engineering. This study developed a poly (sorbitol sebacate) (PSS) filmscaffold with a sorbitol-to-sebacic acid molar ratio of 1:4.

The aim of this research was to fabricate and evaluate polyglycerol sebacate/polycaprolactone/reduced graphene oxide (PGS-PCL-RGO) composite scaffolds for myocardial tissue engineering. Polyglycerol sebacate polymer was synthesized using glycerol and sebacic acid prepolymers, confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Six PGS-PCL-RGO composite scaffolds (S-S) with various weight ratios were prepared in chloroform (CF) and acetone (Ace) solvents at 8 CF:2Ace and 9 CF:1Ace volume ratios, using the electrospinning method at a rate of 1 ml/h and a voltage of 18 kV.

This study explores the efficient conversion of castor oil to sebacic acid utilizing iron oxide (FeO) loaded on activated carbons as catalysts. Through a combination of saponification, acidification, and catalytic cracking, sebacic acid was produced with a notable yield improvement. The process involved using liquid paraffin as a thinning agent, overcoming the limitations of traditional toxic agents.

Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) offers a unique combination of strength, sustainability, and versatile structure, making it a good candidate for creating sacrificial and reformable bonds via secondary curatives. These curatives should be simple and compatible with other rubber ingredients and industrial mixing processes. Although many alternative curatives, including zinc chloride, zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA), and sebacic acid (SA), have been proven to be successful, they have never been compared in the same compound.
