The need for biodegradable polymers is self-evident; not only for plastics but moreover for biological relevant and other applications the degradation of polymeric materials is crucial. Typically the research is focused on polyesters based on carboxylic acids like lactic acid or similar. We are investigating novel synthetic strategies to poly(phosphoester)s which have many advantages over the classical polyesters, such as tunable solubility, functionality and degradation with respect to drug delivery and nanoparticle synthesis.
