Abstract
PGA and P(GA-co-LA) fibers applied as surgical sutures strongly depend on their microstructure. The structural evolution in both the relaxed and tensioned states during heat-setting after hot stretching, which included heating and postannealing, was investigated using in situ WAXD/SAXS and DSC techniques. We found that the fibers of both PGA and P(GA-co-LA) with 8% LA content under the relaxed state were more advantageous than the fibers under...
