In vivo degradation of copolymers prepared from l-lactide, 1,3-trimethylene carbonate and glycolide as coronary stent materials
A series of high molecular weight polymers were prepared by ring opening polymerization of l-lactide (l-LA), 1,3-trimethylene carbonate (TMC) and glycolide using stannous octoate as catalyst. The resulting polyme...

Hydrolytic and enzymatic degradations of physically crosslinked hydrogels prepared from PLA/PEO/PLA triblock copolymers
Degradable copolymers were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of lactide in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), using CaH2 as a biocompatible initiator. The resulting PLA/PEO/PLA triblock copolym...

Structure-property relationships in the case of the degradation of massive poly(α-hydroxy acids) in aqueous media
In order to assess the effects of morphology on the degradation characteristics of high-molecular weight poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA100), specimens of similar sizes were processed by compression moulding and made ei...
