Highly oriented poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) fibres with an initial tensile strength of 1.1 GPa and different lamellar morphologies were prepared and studied during degradation in aqueous media at 37 ยฐC. A combination of small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering was used to study the structural changes dur
