Application

1,8-Octanediol can undergo:
  • Polycondensation with citric acid to form biodegradable poly(1,8-octanediol citrate)(POC) crosslinked bioelastomer which can be blended with various additives.
  • Fischer esterification with dicarboxylic acids to form diol-based macromers.

Long carbon chain alkanediols are used in the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)], however these substrates possess high toxicity towards bacterial cells. This study demonstrated the effective utilisation of a long carbon chain alkanediol, namely 1,8-octanediol, to enhance the yield and

In this work, we describe the synthesis and characterization of variants of poly(diol fumarate) and poly(diol fumarate-co-succinate). Through a Fischer esterification, α,ω-diols and dicarboxylic acids were polymerized to form aliphatic polyester comacromers. Because of the carbon-carbon double bond of fumaric
