A biodegradable polymer comprising a condensation polymer of glycerol and a diacid. The polymer may be adapted for use as a tissue engineering construct. For example, it may be seeded with cells, or molecules may be attached to it to modify the metabolism and proliferation of cells or to modify the degradation rate and/or mechanism of the polymer. The polymer may also be exploited in a variety of medical and non-medical applications. |
