The poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT)/poly (lactic acid)(PLA) films have been
widely used due to their biological degradability and excellent comprehensive properties …

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the mechanical, micro-mechanical and
physical properties of Reva Medical Fantom Encore Bioresorbable Scaffolds (BRS) …

Bioresorbable poly-L-lactide (PLLA) stents have the potential to fully dissolve after treating
injured arteries, leaving nothing behind. However, the manufacturing process for …

Three-dimensional printing (3DP), known as additive layer manufacturing (ALM), is a
manufacturing process in which a three-dimensional structure is constructed by successive …

A bioinspired PEEK material with hard “bricks” of nanoscale lamellae and micron-scale
deformed spherulites bonded by soft “mortar” of a rigid amorphous fraction was produced …

A biodegradable blend of PBAT—poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)—and PLA—poly
(lactic acid)—for blown film extrusion was modified with four multi-functional chain extending …

In situ synchrotron X-ray scattering was used to reveal the transient microstructure of poly (L-
lactide)(PLLA)/tungsten disulfide inorganic nanotubes (WS2NTs) nanocomposites. This …

Crystal structure and morphology dictate the mechanical, thermal, and degradation
properties of poly l-lactide (PLLA), the structural polymer of the first clinically approved …

The essential work of fracture (EWF) and Izod/Charpy impact tests have been used to
investigate the fracture toughness in the plane stress of brittle polymers. In this paper, we …

Polylactic acid (PLA), as a green functional polymer, has been useful in various coating
applications. However, due to the low mechanical strength and thermal stability of PLA, it …
