Processing of biodegradable polymers in supercritical carbon dioxide /

The biodegradable polymer poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) was processed with the nontoxic solvent, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂). Novel processing techniques were developed to produce high purity PLGA biomaterials for use in biomedical applications. Microporous PLGA matrices designed for...
