Polyphosphazene polymers for tissue engineering: An analysis of material synthesis, characterization, and applications
Abstract
Tissue engineering often utilizes biodegradable polymers in the form of porous scaffolds for regenerating de novo tissues. There is an ever-increasing need for biodegradable polymers as temporary substrates for facilitating tissue regeneration. Compared to the widely used polyesters, polyorthoesters, poly(α-amino acids), and poly(anhydrides), biodegradable polyphosphazenes form a unique class of polymers that has vast potential for tissue engineering applications. Polyphosphazenes are linear high molecular weight polymers with an inorganic backbone consisting of alternating phosphorous and nitrogen atoms with two organic side groups attached to each phosphorous atom. The synthetic flexibility of polyphosphazenes has enabled the development of a wide range of polymers with a variety of physical, chemical and biological properties. These biodegradable polyphosphazenes undergo hydrolytic degradation yielding non-toxic and neutral pH degradation products due to the buffering capacity of phosphates and ammonia that are produced simultaneously during polyphosphazene degradation. This review focuses on synthesis of biodegradable polyphosphazenes, their degradation characteristics, biocompatibility, and their applications as tissue regeneration and controlled delivery matrices with a particular emphasis on systems based on polyphosphazenes alone, polyphosphazene blends and polyphosphazene composites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
