Development of high strength nanocomposite for biodegradable stents
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The use of biodegradable polymer materials are considered to be good alternatives in urology (Donohue et. al. 2018), cardiovascular (Brie et. al. 2016) and tracheal airway stenosis which provide support before it is absorbed ...
Review of multifarious applications of Poly (lactic acid)
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Poly (lactic acid) is considered to be a promising alternative to petroleum-based polymers due to its renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties. Because of the high cost, the applications ...
Influence of extrusion screw speed on the properties of halloysite nanotube impregnated polylactic acid nanocomposites
(De Gruyter, 2021)
Poly (lactic acid)/halloysite nanotube (PLA/HNT)
nanocomposites have been studiedextensively over the past
fewyears owing to the interesting properties of the polymer,
PLA, and the nanoclay, HNT, individually and as ...
Surface modified halloysite nanotubes reinforced polylactic acid for use in biodegradable coronary stents.
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was reinforced halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in this study. To improve dispersion and interfacial adhesion of HNTs within the PLA matrix, HNTs were surface modified with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane ...
Halloysite nanotube reinforced polylactic acid composite.
(Wiley, 2017-10)
Polylactic acid (PLA) has long history in medical applications, and reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation ...
