Application
PPC can be used in the electrolytic composites which can be used in the development of electrochemical devices. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer that can be used as a scaffold for potential applications in tissue engineering.
General description
Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) is an aliphatic polycarbonate which is mainly used as a packing material and binder resin. The ester group allows the backbone to have molecular flexibility. It is prepared by reacting carbon dioxide and propylene oxide. It has a low thermal stability which can be improved by capping the polymer with active agents.
