The synthesis of diverse nitric oxide (NO)-releasing network polyesters is described. The melt phase condensation of polyols with a calculated excess of diacid followed by thermal curing generates cross-linked polyesters containing acid end groups. Varying the composition and curing temperatures of the polyesters resulted in materials with tunable thermal and degradation properties. Glass transition temperatures for the synthesized materials range from -25.5 to 3.2 °C, while complete degradation ...[more]
