There is a possibility of obtaining xylitol-based elastomers sharing common characteristics
of biodegradability, thermal stability, and elastomeric behavior by using monomers with different
chain-lengths. Therefore, we have synthesized eight elastomers using a combination of four different
diols (ethanediol, 1.3-propanediol, 1.4-buanediol, and 1.5-pentanediol) and two different dicarboxylic
acids (succinic acid and adipic acid). The obtained materials were further modified by performing
e-beam treatment with a dose of 100 kGy. Materials both before and after radiation modification
were tested by DSC, DMTA, TGA, tensile tests, gel fraction determination, hydrolytic and enzymatic
degradation tests, 1H NMR and 13C NMR and FTIR.
