Polyorganophosphazenes substituted by glycino ethyl ester and allylamine with different ratios were synthesized and their structures were characterized by H-1 NMR, P-31 NMR and FTIR. Via the crosslink reaction, a novel biodegradable crosslinked polyorganophosphazene material was obtained. DSC and FTIR spectra indicated the occurrence of crosslink. Hydrolysis studies were also performed to compare the crosslinked polymers with linear ones. The co-substituted polyorganophosphazenes with more allylarnine at pendant groups exhibited a lower degradation rate than poly [bis(glycino ethyl ester)phosphazene] and crosslinked polyphosphazenes had an even lower degradation rate. SEM photographs characterized the surface of polyphosphazenes films after hydrolytic degradation, confirming that uncrosslinked ones had outstanding hydrolytic evidences at the surface while the crosslinked ones only had sporadic small erosion holes, remaining much smoother.C (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
