Higher molecular weights denote higher degrees of rigidity. Unlike many other biodegradable polymers, PTMC is resistant to hydrolyic degradation of its ester linkages. Instead, it is more prone to surface erosion\/enzymatic degradation. The ultimate byproducts of its biodegradation are CO2 and water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCopolymers of varying monomer ratios and molecular weights enable more control over rigidity and biodegradation rate to suit specific applications.
