Application

Trimethylene Carbonate is primarily used as a monomer for synthesizing biodegradable polycarbonates via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), particularly for medical sutures and implant coatings. Its hydrolytic degradation products are non-acidic, reducing tissue inflammation in biomedical applications. Researchers also employ TMC as a copolymer with lactides/glycolides to tailor polymer degradation rates and mechanical properties for drug-eluting stents or tissue engineering scaffolds.
