1.1 This specification covers virgin poly(lactide) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) resins able to be fully solvated at 30°C by either methylene chloride (dichloromethane) or chloroform (trichloromethane). The poly(d,l-lactide) homopolymers covered by this specification are considered to be amorphous (that is, void of crystallinity) and are polymerized either from meso-lactide or from equimolar (racemic) combinations of d-lactide and l-lactide. The poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer
