Influence of fiber diameter and crystallinity on the stability of electrospun poly(L-lactic acid) membranes to hydrolytic degradation

Hydrolytic degradation of electrospun mats of poly(L-lactic acid), PLLA, as a function of crystallinity and fiber diameter has been studied. The degradation in a saline phosphate buffer solution (PBS) up to 20 weeks produced a slight decrease in the sample mass but a clear decrease of the polymer av...
