Abstract
In the presented study, a PGS prepolymer (pPGS) was synthesized utilizing polycondensation technique (equimolar sebacic acid:glycerol ratio, 130 °C, 24 h). Subsequently, the pPGS was thermally cross-linked in vacuum oven in 130 °C for 84 and 168 h. The cylindrical and dumbbell-shaped samples were subjected for physico-chemical and thorough mechanical analysis including tensile and compressive strength evaluation as well as dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The study allowed for the investigation of alteration of PGS properties during cross-linking and decay of elastomeric properties over prolonged cross-linking time. Moreover, a deconvolution in FTIR analysis allowed to glimpse into the hydrogen bonding structure of the materials which weakens during the cross-linking. The obtained results can be utilized during designing PGS-based bulk materials for biomedical application where bearing mechanical loads and tuned chemical character is of vital importance.
