ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method to modify biodegradable polymers using the direct reaction of a biodegradable polymer in a vinyl monomer and may take place in the presence of initiators. The initiator may be free radical initiators, heat, ionic initiators, UV irradiation, ionizing irradiation and other high energy irradiation. Suitable biodegradable polymer include polycaprolactone, poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid). Suitable vinyl monomers include acrylates, methacrylates and the like.
