POLY(D-LACTIDE)

Uses

Poly(D-lactide) (PDLA), a polymer of a stereospecific cyclic di-ester of lactic acid, is used in biomaterial research for the development of devices such as therapeutic drug delivery vessels. Poly(D-lactide) is used for the preparation of microparticles and resorbable polylactide scaffolds.
