Synthesis of Poly(Lactic Acid-<i>co</i>-Glycolic Acid) Copolymers with High Glycolide Ratio by Ring-Opening Polymerisation

The rise in demand for biodegradable plastic packaging with high barrier properties has spurred interest in poly(lactic acid-<i>co</i>-glycolic acid) (PLGA) copolymers with a relatively high glycolide content. In this work, we examined how reaction conditions affect the synthesis of PLGA...
