Overview

Polyglycolic acid (PGA)‌, which is ‌biodegradable and biocompatible‌, has potential applications in ‌bone regeneration‌. High molecular weight PGA can be synthesized via ring-opening polymerization of glycolide in the presence of ‌bismuth tribromide‌. ‌Applications‌ ‌Polyglycolic acid (PGA)‌ and ‌polylactic acid (PLA)‌ can be used to prepare ‌biodegradable copolymers‌ suitable for ‌implantation‌. Fabrication of ‌biopolymer/carbon nanotube composites‌ incorporating PGA fibers as a component has been reported. Modified ‌porous PGA scaffolds‌ have also been successfully manufactured.
