PGA is important in nanotechnology for several reasons: 1. Biodegradability: The ability of PGA to naturally break down into non-toxic by-products makes it ideal for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. 2. Mechanical Strength: Its high tensile strength enables the creation of robust nanostructures that can withstand mechanical stress. 3. Biocompatibility: PGA is well tolerated by the human body, making it suitable for implantable devices and scaffolds.
