XPS and Wettability Characterization of Modified Poly(lactic acid) and Poly(lactic/glycolic acid) Films

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2002
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(lactic/glycolic acid) copolymers (PLGA) are biodegradable drug carriers of great importance, although successful pharmaceutical application requires adjustment of the surface properties of the polymeric drug delivery system to be compatible with the biological environment.

Conjugation of Bioactive Groups to Poly(lactic acid) and Poly[(lactic acid)‐co‐(glycolic acid)] Films

Macromolecular Bioscience, 2007
AbstractA novel PLA‐based polymer containing reactive pendent ketone or hydroxyl groups was synthesized by the copolymerization of L‐lactide with ε‐caprolactone‐based monomers. The polymer was activated with NPC, resulting in an amine‐reactive polymer which was then cast into thin polymeric films, either alone or as part of a blend with PLGA, before ...

Improvement of the antifouling properties of poly (lactic acid) hollow fiber membranes with poly (lactic acid)–polyethylene glycol–poly (lactic acid) copolymers

Desalination, 2013
Abstract Poly (lactic acid) hollow fiber membranes with poly (lactic acid)–polyethylene glycol–poly (lactic acid) (PLA–PEG–PLA) triblock copolymers were synthesized using different molecular weight PEG segments, and were used as hydrophilic copolymers for the preparation of PLA/PLA–PEG–PLA blend hollow fiber membranes.

Poly(lactic acid)‐based nanocomposites

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, 2016
Classic plastics accumulate in nature causing environmental pollution, yet as a counterbalance they benefit society in many ways. They are versatile, cost‐effective, and can be tailored to have desired properties. The global environment has led to the fabrication of commodity plastics from environmentally degradable polymers. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is

Fabricating poly(lactic acid) and poly(lactic acid)/poly(caprolactone) blend fibres via electrospinning

2019
The whole thesis is divided into 8 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces some background information of the polylactic acid (PLA), poly(caprolactone) (PCL) and electrospinning which are the main polymers and technique used for this PhD project.Chapter 2 is a comprehensive literature review related to the project, which firstly introduces nanofibres and ...

Amorphous Fractions of Poly(lactic acid)

2017
Detailed knowledge of the organization of amorphous and crystalline phases in a semicrystalline polymer such as poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) is crucial for complete understanding and prediction of its physical properties. In semicrystalline polymers, amorphous segments located at different distances from the crystalline domains can exhibit different ...

Biodegradability of microcrystalline cellulose/poly(lactic acid)-graftedmaleic anhydride/poly(lactic acid) composites

This research aimed to prepare microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)/PLA composite films in which MCC was obtained from acid hydrolysis of cotton fabric (CT-MCC) by hydrochloric acid. In addition, maleic anhydride – grafted-polylactic acid (PLA-g-MA) was synthesized and used as a compatibilizer.
