| Application | PGA can be directly used for injection molding and extrusion processing, and can also be blended and modified with other degradable materials to improve the mechanicalstrength, barrier properties and degradation properties of modified materials. It is mainly applied in the following fileds: 1.Medical Devices: PGA is a common material for synthetic, absorbable sutures and is also used in tissue scaffolding and drug delivery systems. 2.Packaging: Its strong gas-barrier properties allow for its use in food packaging like plastic bottle, paper cups, film bags etc.. 3.oil and gas exploration: PGA can be made into biodegradable temporary plugging materials such as fracturing balls. 4.Textiles: It has applications in textile materials and is being explored as a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based polymers. |
