Poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone), 60:40, 1.3 dL/g

Poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone) (PGCL) is a biodegradable copolymer made by polymerizing glycolide and caprolactone. PGCL exhibits a range of properties that make it suitable for medical and pharmaceutical applications, such as drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and wound healing.

The mechanical strength and degradation rate of PGCL can be tailored by adjusting the ratio of glycolide and caprolactone, with a higher glycolide content enabling a faster degradation rate, and a higher caprolactone content leading to slower degradation rate.
