Theoretical Study and Calculation of the Biochemical Coefficients of Synthetic Biodegradable PGA and PLA Polymers

In this study, some of the physicochemical properties, such as the logarithm of calculated octanol-water partitioning coefficients (logKow), total biodegradation (TBd in mol/h and g/h), water solubility (Sw, mg.L-1/25ºC) and median lethal concentration 50 (LC50), were calculated for the biodegradable synthetic polymers poly (glycolic acid) PGA (1) and poly (lactic acid) PLA (2) with variable length of the polymers. The equations of the model could be utilized to extend for longer polymers of PGA (1) and PLA (2).
