    Polylactic acid ( PLA), also known as polylactide, is a type of aliphatic polyester polymerized with lactic acid as a monomer
    .


    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a synthetic polymer material with good biodegradability and biocompatibility.


    Polylactic acid ( PLA), also known as polylactide, is a type of aliphatic polyester polymerized with lactic acid as a monomer


    Compared with PLA, PGA has one less methyl group in the main chain unit, so it has better hydrophilicity and faster hydrolysis than PLA.
    The copolymerization of PGA and PLA into poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) can significantly improve PLA.
    The degradation rate

    Compared with PLA, PGA has one less methyl group in the main chain unit, so it has better hydrophilicity and faster hydrolysis than PLA.


          At present , the preparation of PLGA mostly adopts the ring-opening polymerization method
    .


    Common ring-opening polymerization is to separately dehydrate and cyclize glycolic acid and lactic acid to synthesize two monomers of glycolide (GA) and lactide (LA), and then ring-opening polymerization of GA and LA to obtain a PLGA random copolymer


          At present , the preparation of PLGA mostly adopts the ring-opening polymerization method


      

          The ratio of PGA and PLA in the PLGA copolymer is different, and the crystallinity is also different.
    The crystallinity of the copolymer is different, and the water absorption rate is different
    .


    Lactic acid is less hydrophilic than glycolic acid, so PLGA copolymers rich in lactide are more hydrophilic than copolymers rich in glycolide


          The ratio of PGA and PLA in the PLGA copolymer is different, and the crystallinity is also different.


     

          In addition to its application as a conventional degradable plastic , PLGA is also widely used as a functional pharmaceutical excipient to control the release of parenteral drugs, as well as for the production of bioabsorbable implantable medical devices for orthopedics, cardiovascular and wound healing applications
