Abstract
The disclosure relates to a class of diol-based, unsaturated aliphatic polyesters that biodegrade into monomers capable of mitigating infection. These poly(diol fumarates) (PDFs) and poly(diol fumarate-co-succinates) (PDFSs), can be crosslinked to form networks of scaffolds with antimicrobial degradation products. Both the diol carbon length and the degree of available double bonds are tunable, resulting in a highly controllable class of antimicrobial polymers useful for cell scaffolds and drug delivery systems and devices.
