Abstract
A pH-modulating poly(glycerol sebacate) composition includes poly(glycerol sebacate) and at least one pH-modulating agent associated with the poly(glycerol sebacate). A process of making a pH-modulating poly(glycerol sebacate) composition includes forming a poly(glycerol sebacate) by a water-mediated reaction from glycerol and sebacic acid and associating at least one pH-modulating agent with the poly(glycerol sebacate). A process of modulating a pH of a buffered aqueous solution includes placing a pH-modulating poly(glycerol sebacate) composition in a buffered aqueous solution. The pH-modulating agent is released into the buffered aqueous solution during degradation of the poly(glycerol sebacate) to reduce a decrease in pH of the buffered aqueous solution caused by degradation of the poly(glycerol sebacate).
