Thermal and mechanical properties, including elastic limit and Young modulus, are assessed. Degradation is then evaluated under standard hydrolytic conditions. Reducibility of a selected elastomer is then illustrated using 2-mercaptoethanol or glutathione as reducing agents. The redox-sensitivity of the selected elastomer and the possibility to modulate the degradability are shown. Considering drug-eluting elastomeric devices applications, anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen loading is illustrated with the two simplest elastomer formulations. A rapid or slow linear release is observed as a function of the low or high molecular weight of the triblock pre-polymers. Finally, the cytocompatibility of the degradable elastomers is assessed with regard to their potential to favor or inhibit L929 murine fibroblasts proliferation as a function of the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of the triblock copolymers. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01369303/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01369303/file/S.%20Rupnik%20Article%20final%20Hal%20version.pdf %L hal-01369303 %U https://hal.science/hal-01369303 %~ CNRS %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ IBMM %~ OPENAIRE %~ INC-CNRS %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
