Abstract
⺠Chitosan-g-poly(glycolic acid) copolymer was prepared without using a catalyst. ⺠Degradation rate of copolymer increased dramatically compared with that of chitosan. ⺠Degradation rate was controlled by the molar ratio of glycolic acid to chitosan. ⺠In vitro cytotoxicity tests revealed that the copolymer has good biocompatibility. ⺠The copolymer has a great potential to meet diverse needs in biomedical fields.
