Abstract
This purpose of this study is to enhance the hydrolysis of poly (butylene succinate-co-L-lactate) (PBSL) and poly [(R) -3-hydroxybutylate] (PHB), to develop materials with advanced medical absorbability and environmental suitability. The first method involves increasing the bioabsorbability of poly (glycolic acid) (PGA) in the core of the fibrous complex, while the second method involves making a complex fiber containing PBSL and PHB in the outer layer for improving environmental degradability Improvement in the hydrolysis of PBSL and PHB due to glycolic acid occurs by hydrolytic behavior of PGA. The drawing supporting the resulting PBSL/PGA fiber was executed at $65^{\circ}C$, where the orientation is well arranged in crystal form. Obtaining a PHB/PGA complex fiber in the proper crystal orientation at $50^{\circ}C$ was not possible since the arranged crystal orientation was only identified in drawings from temperatures above $50^{\circ}C$. Also, it is necessary to execute a smooth surface to achieve an on-line drawing since unevenness occurs in the fibrous surface from an in-line drawing.
