PLGA when unmodified does tend to be hydrophobic. However it can be modified to ensure that it is hydrophilic. The best approach to this would probably be to do a literature search which would be able to give you a more exhaustive answer in respect to * the form in which your PLGA is (i.e as prepared or prepared through solvent phase separation/super critical processing) * the thickness of the material (is it 1nm or 1m?)

What is characteristics of hydrophobic solution?
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
Is phosphatidylethanolamine hydrophobic?
yes it is!!! it has an hydrophobic permeability barrier predominantly in phospholipids
Is hydrophobic a lipid?
No. Hydrophobic is a concept or symptom, not a substance as lipids are.
Is nylon fiber hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
This depends on type of fiber.
Is oil hydrophobic?
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
Is cholesterol hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
Cholesterol has many hydrophobic side chains and a single hydrophilic side chain. Because it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, it is amphipathic.yes cholesterol Hydrophobic , choestol not soluble in water
Is vitamin A hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
What is hydrophobic and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophobic?
Hydrophobic describes molecules that are repelled by water. You can determine if a molecule is hydrophobic by looking at its structure - if it contains mostly nonpolar covalent bonds or hydrophobic functional groups (e.g. alkyl groups), it is likely to be hydrophobic. Additionally, hydrophobic molecules tend to aggregate together in water due to the hydrophobic effect.
The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?
Hydrophobic.
How can one create hydrophobic water?
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
