Their compositions, crystallization properties, thermal and degradation behaviors, hydrophilicity and biocompatibility were studied. Our results demonstrate that poly(lactide-co-glycolide)with a 90 percent lactide and PLGA-PEG-PLGA show some crystallization properties. While as the decrease of lactide content in polymers, poly(lactide-co-glycolide)become amorphous, whereas, their hydrophilicity have been improved on the contrary. Compared to poly(lactide-co-glycolide), the PLGA-PEG-PLGA copolymer has a better hydrophilicity for the existence of polyethylene glycol block. Furthermore, both these polymers display easy controlled degradation properties and good cell compatibility UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ohtbSb4uEG0QM5JF0gqPbKUXvVEd2psg/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
