Polyglycolic acid, glycolic acid-based copolymer, polylactic acid, lactic acid-based copolymer, polyethylene terephthalate are all biodegradable high molecular materials, which have excellent degradability, no toxicity and good biocompatibility, but have the disadvantage of low melt strength in processing, so that they are modified.
