The long chain branching(LCB)polyglycolide(PGA)was successfully prepared by the successive reactions of the terminal hydroxyl groups of PGA with triglycidyl isocyanurate(TGIC)and pyromellitic dianhydride(PMDA).The inf...

Hybrid braids of polyglycolide (PGA) and chitosan were prepared by the three-yarn braiding method from PGA and chitosan fiber bundles. These braids were in vitro degraded by incubating them in phosphate buffered sal...
A biodegradable ABBA block copolymer was synthesized via the ring-opening co-polymerization of ~ε-caprolactone(CL, B) and glycolide(A) by means of step polymerization in the presence of ethylene glycol as an initiato...
This research was made possible by a Johnson & Johnson CORD Internship Award funded by Ethicon. BH and BF thank the National Science Foundation for partial financial support (DMR-0098104).
Structure and properties of bioabsorbable polyglycolide (PGA) and poly(glycolide-co-lactide) (PGA-co-PLA)fibers were investigated during several industrial processing stages and in vitro degradation by means of wide-a...
The influence of reaction temperature,reaction time, system pressure and catalysts on the re-duced viscosity(ηsp/C)and shear viscosity(ηa)of polyglycollic acid(PGA)is given in thispaper.The...
The homopolymerization and copolymerization of glycolide (GA) and lactide (LA) are des-cribed. The resulting polymers are characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), 300 ...
