Abstract
Abstract In this article, the synthesis of four novel bioelastomers known as poly (xylitol sebacate) (PXS), poly (xylitol adipate) (PXA), poly (sorbitol sebacate) (PSS), and poly (sorbitol adipate) (PSA) was carried out through bulk polymerization, followed by their blending using the solution method. Six blends were prepared namely PXS25/PSS75, PXS50/PSS50, PXS75/PSS25, PXS50/PXA50, PSA50/PXA50, and PSS50/PSA50. After blending, a thermal curing process was applied to the samples. The intrinsic viscosity, density, T g , hydrophilicity, degradation, wound healing, and mechanical properties of polymers and blends were measured to investigate the effects of blending. Analyzing hardness, modulus, stress at breakpoint, degradation, and hydrophilicity data showed that the mechanical properties of bioelastomers are adjustable by blending for tissue engineering. Furthermore, the scratch assay proved the biocompatibility of pure polymers and indicated that blending does not have a negative impact on this matter.
