It′s all in the sequence: The primary structure of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), a member of the most widely used class of biodegradable polymers employed in biomedical applications, is demonstrated to strongly influence its degradation properties. Experimental studies evidenced the beneficial effect of ordered monomer sequences on the material properties (see picture).
