As a polymerization monomer, glycolide can be homopolymerized to obtain polyglycolide, but also can be copolymerized with other cyclic monomers to obtain random copolymers or block copolymers, which are used as biodegradable polymer materials One of them occupies an important position in the research and development of medical polymer materials, and has been applied in many fields such as surgical sutures, artificial skin and blood vessels, bone fixation and repair, controlled drug release, tissue engineering and so on.
