Abstract:
1. An implantable article, comprising an amorphous terpolymer and a semi-crystalline polymer, wherein the amorphous terpolymer forms a block copolymer with the semi-crystalline polymer, wherein the amorphous terpolymer comprises lactide, glycolide, and caprolactone, and caprolactone has a molar ratio from about 15% to about 75% in the terpolymer, the semi-crystalline polymer is selected from the group consisting of a semi-crystalline poly(ester amide) (PEA), a semi-crystalline PLLGA with content of L-lactide ranging from about 65 molar % to about 100 molar %, a semi-crystalline PLLA-GA-CL terpolymer with content of L-lactide ranging from about 65 molar % or higher, and a semi-crystalline PLLA-CL.
