Aliphatic polyesters are generally sensitive to hydrolysis and are biodegradable (Gross and Bhanu, 2002). They are formed by the polycondensation reaction of an aliphatic glycol with an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. Among the aliphatic polyesters there is a family of polymers, the poly(a-hydroxy acids) such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), and some of their copolymers, which have been used in a number of clinical applications sutures, plates and fixtures for fracture fixation devices and scaffolds for cell transplantation.
