Polyglycolides PGA

Poly(L-glycolide) (PLGA) nanofiber mats of random copolymers of lactide (L) and glycolide (G) have mechanical properties that are in the same range as those of the tissue they are intended to replace (Li et al. 2002 Luu et al. 2003 Shin, H. J., et al. 2006). The tensile modulus (MPa) [Pg.209]

The cyclic forms can be opened by nucleophilic attack of various initiators. Polymers often called poly(glycolic acid) and poly(lactic acid)s or, more properly, polyglycolide (PGA) and polylactides (PLA), or their copolymers (PLGA) can be obtained according to the main mechanism, as... [Pg.70]

Polylactides (PLA) and copolymers are also of interest in biodegradable applications. This material is a thermoplastic polyester synthesized from the ring opening of lactides. Lactides are cyclic diesters of lactic acid.2 A similar material to polylactide is polyglycolide (PGA). [Pg.17]

Polyglycolide (PGA) is partially crystallisable, with a high melting point (220-230 °C) and a glass transition temperature of 34-40 It has a... [Pg.99]

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]
