Question by jack h: I need a dissolvable plastic that loses anywhere from 1 gram to 30 grams if submerged in water for a week?
I need a dissolvable plastic, something that dissolves relatively fast 1-30 grams in a week of being fully submerged in water. I know about PLA and PLGA and all that nonsense, but I dont know the ratio… will I have to do that myself? It can be any form of solid as I am injection molding it.

I know the ratio will determine the rate, I am just trying to determine if these can plastics be designed to dissolve relatively quickly?

No plastic but maybe pseudo-plastic. Look for some alcoholic mixtures of carbohydrogens.
