Modern needs in materials science and bioapplications are manifold: From hydrophobic matrices for tissue engineering to water-soluble protein therapeutics a great variety of polymers is employed to fit to each application. We seek to establish a unique modular protocol to fulfill the demands in these modern needs. The incorporation of uncharged phosphates or phosphonates within the polymer backbone is a unique handle to tune the materials properties both along the main chain but also at the side chains. A key feature of poly(phosphoester)s (PPEs) is the pendant group that is attached to every phosphorus along the backbone.
