Degradation and viscoelastic properties of PLA-PCL, PGA-PCL, PDO and PGA fibres

Aliphatic polyesters, such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polydioxone (PDO) and others, have been commonly used in biodegradable products. Hydrolytic and/or enzymatic chain cleavage of these materials leads to alpha-hydroxyacids, which, in most cases, are...
