Magnesium particle dispersion in PLGA-Mg composite films. Representative optical micrographs of (A) PLGA only, and PLGA-Mg composites with (B) 1 wt% Mg, (C) 3 wt% Mg, (D) 5 wt% Mg, and (E) 10 wt% Mg. Mg particles, seen in black, are evenly dispersed throughout the film in concentration ranging from 0-5 wt%. Traces of Mg particle agglomeration was seen in PLGA-Mg composite films with 10wt% of Mg (circled regions in E show Mg particle agglomeration).
