摘要 |
The present invention relates to specific DL-lactide-epsi-caprolactone copolymers and the application of these polymers in the production of biodegradable medical applications. According to the present invention a polymeric material comprising poly(DL-lactide-co-epsi-caprolactone) is provided, which is obtained by the copolymerization of DL-lactide and epsi-caprolactone, having a lactide content of 51-75 mol %, most preferably of 62-69 mol %. The materials of the present invention have excellent mechanical properties and may be used to provide articles for medical application, in particular nerve guides.
