Original Abstract

Poly(lactic acid) and poly(glycolic acid) have been under extensive study since they were introduced as biodegradable polymers having hydrolytically unstable backbones. Therefore, these biopolymers can be used for a certain type of biomedical application such as injectable polymer drug delivery systems, tissue implants or resorbable bone adhesives. The prevailing mechanism for the biopolymer degradation is a simple random chemical hydrolysis. This work is focused on the studying of the thermoreversible behaviours of two copolymers, PLGA-PEG-PLGA and the same but modified with itaconic acid (ITA-PLGA-PEG-PLGA-ITA).
