Original Kurzfassung:
Water soluble and degradable poly(organo)phosphazenes are promising polymers for a wide range of applications, especially in the biomedical field. This chapter aims to summarize the variety of water soluble polyphosphazenes available ranging from ionic to amphiphilic, and thermoresponsive polymers to hydrogels. The most recent developments in the design and synthesis of water soluble poly(organo)phosphazenes are presented. Furthermore, we focus on the degradation pathways of the polymers with special attention paid to their stimulated degradation mechanisms.
