Effect of Injection Molding Melt Temperatures on PLGA Craniofacial Plate Properties during In Vitro Degradation

Table 1

Injection molding parameters used to produce PLGA plates. All the production parameters were kept constant while varying the melt injection temperature (240°C for PLGA_lowT and 280°C for PLGA_highT).

	PLGA_lowT	PLGA_highT
Melt injection temperatures	240°C	280°C
Mold temperature	25°C
Injection pressure	1500 MPa
Holding pressure	25 MPa
Injection time	2 s
Cooling time	90 s
Screw speed	100 rpm
