Abstract

Provided herein is a PEA polymer blend and coatings or implantable devices formed therefrom.

Claims

1. An implantable device comprising a coating, the coating comprising:

a poly(ester amide) (PEA) polymer comprising a polymer chain having amide groups in the chain, and

a material for hydrogen-bonding with the PEA,

wherein the polymer chain of one molecule of the PEA polymer hydrogen-bonds to a molecule of the material for hydrogen-bonding, which in turn hydrogen-bonds to the polymer chain of another molecule of the PEA polymer.

2. The implantable device of claim 1, wherein the PEA polymer comprises diacid, diol, and amino acid subunits in its backbone.
