The two-step hydrolyses of substituted polyglycolic acids are modeled by the semiempirical MNDO Hamiltonian using small molecule analogs to determine the effect of the alkyl substituents on the reaction and activation enthalpies. Reaction enthalpies remain reasonably constant up to three carbons, be

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of annealing treatments on the mechanical properties of polyglycolic acid sutures, and their subsequent influence on PGA degradation properties. An attempt was made to develop a better understanding of the degradation mechanism of synthetic abso
The objective of this study is to alter the fiber morphology of a linear aliphatic polyester, polyglycolic acid, by annealing treatment and to examine the changes of its degradation properties. The annealing was done at 150"C, 170"C, and 190"C, and the specimens were annealed in four different strai
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
