Abstract

Abstract This study determined the difference in rate of degradation between pure polymers of lactic acid (PLA), glycolic acid (PGA), and various ratios of copolymers of these two substances. Fast‐cured and slow‐cured polyglycolide was compared with copolymers of glycolide/lactide intermixed in rati...
