A new type of unsaturated poly(ester‐amide) viz maleic anhydride‐phthalic anhydride‐propylene glycol‐neopentylene glycol‐glycin copolymer was prepared by melt polycondensation and characterized after sealed end with cyclohexanol. Mechanical strength of the crosslinked unsaturated poly(ester‐amide) with different heat‐treatment conditions was measured. Calcium polyphosphate fibers (CPPF) were used to boost up the new unsaturated poly(ester‐amide), mechanical strength, degradation, and hydrolysis behavior of CPPF/unsaturated poly(ester‐amide) composites with different CPPF content were measured. All the preliminary results suggested that the CPPF/unsaturated poly(ester‐amide) composites might be potentially used as a new type of bone‐fixation material. POLYM.
