Polyglycolide-<?0-caprolactone polymers

Poly (e-caprolactone), poly lactides, and polyglycolides have quite unusual properties of biodegradability and biocompatibility. The majority of polymers used in the biomedical field to develop implants, sutures, and controlled drug-delivery systems are the aforesaid resorbable polyesters produced by ring-opening polymerization of cyclic (di)esters. [Pg.622]

Degradable polymers such as polylactide (PLA), polyglycolide (PGA), poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) and poly (para-dioxanone) (PDO) have been widely investigated, and approved by FDA for use in the biomedical field (Middleton and Tipton, 2000). Table 4.1 presents the stmctures and thermal properties of these polymers. [Pg.107]

As widely usable biodegradable materials, PLA is found to exhibit too hard and too brittle characters. The weakness might be improved when a polymer with lower glass transition temperature is used together [18]. Polyfe-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), also known as polyglycolide, are two other... [Pg.47]
