Description The polymers are bioresorbable aliphatic polyesters comprised of a range of different ratios of lactide and glycolide monomers, PLA stereochemistries, and end-group functionalization. These biodegradeable homopolymers and copolymers of lactide and glycolide afford a variety of properties that range from very stiff, hard semi-crystalline materials with long degradation times, to softer, amorphous materials with faster degradation rates.

Application Heterobifunctional degradable PLGA for conjugation, grafting and functionalization for drug delivery applications.

Features And Benefits Good biocompatibility;
Properties can be easily modulated by changing the block copolymer segment sizes to suit a particular application.
