Most pharmaceuticals are given using short-acting formulations that require frequent
administration, which can negatively affect patient compliance and increase failure risks …

The importance of stereochemistry to the function of molecules is generally well understood.
However, to date, control over stereochemistry and its potential to influence properties of the …

Upon blending enantiomeric poly (l-lactide)[ie, poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA)] and poly (d-
lactide)(PDLA)[ie, poly (d-lactic acid)(PDLA)] or synthesis of stereo block poly (lactide)[ie …

This review presents the state of the art of complex macromolecular architectures based on
polylactide stereocomplexes (PLA-sc) from the viewpoint of synthesis and crystallization …

Polylactide (PLA) has been receiving significant attention in biopolymer research due to its
excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility and sustainability. The mass production of PLA …

Over the past two decades, biomass‐derived and biodegradable polylactide (PLA) has
sparked tremendous attention as a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum‐derived …

Stereocomplex (SC) crystallization between polymer enantiomers has opened a promising
avenue for preparing high-performance materials. However, high-crystallinity SCs are …

Stereocomplexation of enantiomeric poly (l-lactide)/poly (d-lactide)(PLLA/PDLA) chains
opens up a great opportunity toward sustainable PLA engineering plastic with exceptional …

Formation of stereocomplex crystals (SC) is an effective way to improve the heat resistance
and mechanical performance of poly (lactic acid) products. However, at all but the slowest …

High molecular weights switch the harvests of crystallinity from stereocomplex crystals to
homocrystals in the symmetric racemic poly (lactic acid)(PLA) blends. We performed Flash …
