## Abstract The ability to undergo predictable and controlled degradation allows biopolymers to release prescribed dosages of drugs locally over a sustained period. However, the bulk or homogeneous degradation of some of these polymers like poly(Lβlactide) (PLLA) and poly(lactideβ__co__βglycolide)

Scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are usually subjected to different mechanical loads during in vitro and in vivo degradation. In this study, the in vitro degradation process of electrospun poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds was examined under continuous tensile l
Bioabsorbable polymers are increasingly being used in tissue engineering strategies. Despite the knowledge that some sterilization techniques may affect the physical properties of these polymers, this aspect is often overlooked. We speculate that the type of sterilization method used may influence c
