Synthesis, Characterization and Swelling property of Poly (Diol Citrate-Co-diol Suberate) Elastomers

H NMR spectroscopy. The post polymers were subjected to differential scanning calorimetry, thermo gravimetric analysis, mechanical and swelling studies. The results of swelling and tensile studies show that these polymers are cross-linked elastomers. Polymer P5 and P8 displayed an initial modulus of 14.52 and 1.24 MPa and elongation at break between102% and 64% respectively. The difference in swelling % of polymers P5 and P8 indicates that the choice of monomers influence the physical properties. Both P5 and P8 were found to be susceptible for swelling, which is the required quality for any polymer prior to biodegradation.
