Abstract
Biodegradable elastomers synthesized under mild conditions with highly tunable mechanical properties are described. These elastomeric biomaterials are biocompatible, exhibit minimal deformation following cyclical tensile loading, and permit tight control over the release kinetics of encapsulated bioactive molecules.
