## Abstract For industrial polyester yarns, the study of hydrolytic/thermal degradation is important, because of the negative influence of these degradations on mechanical properties of polyester yarns. In this research, tensile force at breaking point and elongation at break were used to assess th

✦ Synopsis
Hyaluronic acid and its derivatives are absorbable polysaccharides which are used extensively in cosmetics and as biomaterials. Two possible mechanisms of degradation, involving an oxocarbenium ion and the corresponding radical cation, are examined by modeling of the saccharide ring and the effects of various ring substituents on the two possible mechanisms.

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
## Abstract This study investigates the effect of PLGA 85/15 scaffold on the cell growth and viability of a cell line, and the degradation of the scaffold in different media. The cell line used was human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL‐60). Three different media were considered: distilled water, a
