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 ...
Faster release of lumen-loaded drugs than matrix-loaded equivalent in polylactic acid/halloysite nanotubes.
(MDPI, 2019-06-15)
Nanocomposite-based drug delivery systems with intrinsic controlled release properties are of great interest in biomedical applications. We report a novel polylactic acid (PLA)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite-based ...
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 ...
Additive manufacturing of PLA/HNT nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019)
Additive manufacturing has been of great interest of research in various applications due to their ease in processability, cost effectiveness and adaptability. In this study Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) was used as the base ...
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 ...
Antimicrobial active bioplastics using triangular silver nano-plate integrated polycaprolactone and polylactic acid films
(MDPI, 2021-02-28)
An innovative antimicrobial technology for plastic surfaces is presented. We report the
synthesis and scale-up of triangular silver nano-plates (TSNPs) and their integration into polycaprolactone
(PCL) and polylactic ...
Granule-based material extrusion is comparable to filament-based material extrusion in terms of mechanical performances of printed PLA parts: a comprehensive investigation
(Elsevier, 2023-08-05)
To implement a circular economic life for thermoplastic waste, such as polylactic acid (PLA) waste from filament-based material extrusion (FME) printing and reduce the costs associated with producing filaments for the FME ...
