MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617077596 A) filed by Innopoiesis Co. Ltd. on June 23, 2026, for Novel Polycarbonate-Based Polymer Capable Of Controlling Biodegradation Rate By Various Methods Including Biodegradation Off-On, And Application Thereof.
Inventors include Lee, Kyu Back; Woo, Han Young; and Jeong, Sang Yeong.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel polycarbonate-based polymer capable of controlling the biodegradation rate by various methods including biodegradation OFF- ON, and an application thereof. The polycarbonate-based polymer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied as a drug carrier, a moisture superabsorbent biodegradable material, an environmentally friendly biodegradable material, and the like. Additionally, the hydrophobic polycarbonate-based polymer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can block (OFF) the biodegradation of a biodegradable material with a hydrolysis mechanism until a desired time point and trigger (ON) the biodegradation at a desired time point, so that the biodegradable OFF-ON material containing the hydrophobic polycarbonate-based polymer can be applied to drug delivery, biodegradable medical devices for human transplantation, biodegradable devices for environmental monitoring, bioplastics, transient electronics, and the like.
