• Lifetime prediction of biodegradable polymers (2017, background): “In a number of studies, it was observed that at physiological temperatures the Young’s modulus initially decreased very slowly on hydrolysis before then sharply dropping [171-175].”
• Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) as Biodegradable Controlled Drug Delivery Carrier (2011, background): “Few groups [81] have proposed that the crystallinity of lactic acid (PLLA) increases the degradation rate because the degradation of semi-crystalline polymer is accelerated due to an increase in hydrophilicity.”
• Hydrolysis and Biodegradation of Poly(lactic acid) (2017, background): “Other papers [18,70] reported an accelerated hydrolysis in neutral media with increasing polymer crystallinity for PLLA [11,71] and PLLA/PDLA blends [72].”
