Mechanical characteristics of biodegradable magnesium matrix composites: A review

Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2017
In recent years, a new generation of biodegradable metallic materials, magnesium alloys, has been called a revolutionary material for biomedical applications (i.e. in orthopedics applications as a bone-implant material), thanks to the reasonable strength

Self-reinforced biodegradable thermoplastic composites

Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials
AbstractImprovements in the mechanical performance of biodegradable plastics are required to facilitate replacement of commodity plastics as part of a global push for the use of more sustainable materials. Reinforcing biodegradable plastics with fillers or fibres to create composite materials is an obvious choice for increasing mechanical properties ...

How to combine a hydrophobic matrix and a hydrophilic filler without adding a compatibilizer – Co-grinding enhances use properties of renewable PLA-starch composites [PDF]

, 2012
In order to avoid the use of compatibilizers or plasticizers, co-grinding was performed to produce PLA – starch composite materials. Fragmentation and agglomeration phenomena were analysed to propose a production mechanism.
