Abstract:A novel block copolymer of polyglycolide (PGA) and aniline pentamer that is electro-active and degradable was synthesized. The copolymer was prepared by low-temperature polycondensation between carboxyl-capped aniline pentamer and hydroxyl-capped PGA, with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as dehydrating agent. The structures of monomers and the copolymer were characterized by IR, H-1 NMR. The chemical redox process of the as-prepared copolymer was studied by UV-vis spectra and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Thermal analysis and the study of degradation show that the copolymer has good thermal stability and degradability. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
