Impact of Polyester Dendrimers as Branched Multifunctional Cross-Linking Additives in Triazine-Trione-Based Composites Developed via High-Energy Visible Light Thiol-ene Chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Hydroxyapatite (HA) infused triazine-trione (TATO) composites have emerged as an injectable platform for customizable bone fixators due to their fast and benign curing via high-energy visible light-induced thiol-ene chemistry (HEV-TEC), promising mechanical performance, and preclinical outcomes. These composites can overcome many of the existing limitations accompanying metal implants such as poor patient customizability, soft tissue adhesions, and stress shielding. Taking into account that the promising benchmarked TATO composite (BC) is based on stable sulfur-carbon bonds, we herein investigate the impact of introducing polyester dendritic cross-linkers based on bis-MPA as chemically integrated branched additives that display labile esters in a branched configuration. The inclusion of de
