This study was designed to investigate the in vitro degradation of thin poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) films for applications in retinal pigment epithelium transplantation and guided tissue regeneration. PLGA films of copolymer ratios of 75:25 and 50:50 were manufactured with thickness leve

## Abstract The tensile strengths of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) sutures immersed in buffered and unbuffered aqueous media were compared. The media used were an unbuffered physiological saline solution (pH = 5.0) and a phosphateβbuffered physiological saline solution (pH = 7.4). PGA samples were imme
The effect of hydrolytic degradation on the microstructure of unoriented, quenched poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) was investigated using simultaneous small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS). Samples were analysed immediately after removal from the degradation media in order to prevent dehydrati
The effect of in vitro hydrolytic degradation on the microstructure of unoriented semicrystalline poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) was examined using simultaneous small-and wide-angle synchroton x-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry. Samples were degraded in buffer solutions a
## Abstract Poly(D,Lβlacticβ__co__βglycolic acid) (PLGA) is a biodegradable polymer that is widely used for drug delivery. However, the degradation of PLGA alters the local microenvironment and may influence tissue structure and/or function. Here, we studied whether PLGA degradation affects the str
This article documents the formation of a block copolymer of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and polylysine via a simple coupling technique using dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC). The resulting polymer has been characterized via UV-Vis spectroscopy, GPC, (1)H NMR, and elemental analysis, is soluble in
