Thermal degradation studies of poly(trimethylene carbonate) blends with either polylactide or polycaprolactone
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal stability and degradation kinetics of poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) blends with different ratios of polylactide (PLA) and alternatively polycaprolactone (PCL) were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis under a nitrogen atmosphere.

Study of Non-Isothermal Crystallization of Polydioxanone and Analysis of Morphological Changes Occurring during Heating and Cooling Processes
TL;DR: Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polydioxanone (PDO), a polymer with well-established applications as bioabsorbable monofilar suture, was investigated by Avrami, Mo, and isoconversional methodologies, which suggested a three-dimensional spherulitic growth and instantaneous nucleation at high cooling rates.

Isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of a polyglycolide copolymer having a tricomponent middle soft segment
TL;DR: In this article, the secondary nucleation constant was evaluated from the overall crystallization rates and by assuming the validity of the Hoffman-Weeks approach for non-isothermal polyglycolide copolymers.

Thermal degradation studies on homopolymers and copolymers based on trimethylene carbonate and glycolide units
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermogravimetric (TG and DTG) analysis of poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) and polyglycolide (PGL) was performed in the temperature range between 50 and 550°C at different heating rates (0.5-40°C/min).

TL;DR: A new biodegradable coating was developed for bioabsorbable monofilament sutures that had advantages derived from its high molecular size, which hindered penetration into cells, thus resulting in lower cytotoxicity.
