In-situ Raman spectroscopy monitoring of the thermal and oxidative accelerated degradation of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymers

The purpose of this study is to investigate the change in chemical structures of biopolymers PLGA 80:20 and PLLA during thermal and oxidative degradation by the means of in-situ Raman spectroscopy monitoring. Both isothermal and non-isothermal testing, with or with little presence of oxygen...
