Studies on the Hydrolysis of Biocompatible Acrylic Polymers Having Aspirin-Moieties

Abstract
Both the homogeneous and heterogeneous hydrolysis of five new acrylic polymers having aspirin-moieties, i.e. polymers of β-(acetylsalicylyloxy)ethyl methacrylate, β-(acetylsalicylyl-oxy)propyl methacrylate, β-(acetylsalicylyloxy)ethyl acrylate, β-hydroxy-γ-(acetylsalicylyloxy) propyl methacrylate, β-hydroxy-γ-(acetylsalicylyloxy) propyl acrylate were investigated in acidic or alkaline medium at 30°C or 60°C, respectively. It was observed that the chief hydrolyzed product is always aspirin with minor amount of salicylic acid.
