    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...
