Biodegradation and Biocompatibility of Poly L-lactic Acid Implantable Mesh
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biodegradation and biocompatibility of poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) implantable mesh under in vitro and in vivo conditions. METHODS PLLA mesh was examined for changes in weight and tensile strength. The histology of the tissue around the PLLA implant was also evaluated. RESULTS The weight and tensile strength of the PLLA prosthesis was stab...
متن کاملOverview of Flax Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
Flax fibres are oftenly used for reinforcing thermoplastic to manufacture biocomposite materials exhibiting numerous advantages such as high mechanical properties, low density and biodegradability. The mechanical properties of a biocomposite material depends on the nature and orientation of the fibres, the nature of the matrix and mainly on the adhesion between fiber and the polymer matrix. The...
متن کاملScreening of microorganisms for biodegradation of poly(lactic-acid) and lactic acid-containing polymers.
The ability of some microorganisms to use lactic acid stereocopolymers and copolymers with glycolic acid as sole carbon and energy sources was studied under controlled or natural conditions. First, 14 filamentous fungal strains were tested in liquid cultures, adopting total lactic acid consumption, nitrogen source exhaustion, and maximal biomass production as selection criteria. Two strains of ...
متن کاملFormability Analysis of Bamboo Fabric Reinforced Poly (Lactic) Acid Composites
Poly (lactic) acid (PLA) composites have made their way into various applications that may require thermoforming to produce 3D shapes. Wrinkles are common in many forming processes and identification of the forming parameters to prevent them in the useful part of the mechanical component is a key consideration. Better prediction of such defects helps to significantly reduce the time required fo...
متن کاملNanocomposites of Poly(lactic Acid) Reinforced with Cellulose Nanofibrils
A chemo-mechanical method was used to prepare cellulose nanofibrils dispersed uniformly in an organic solvent. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG 1000) was added to the matrix as a compatibilizer to improve the interfacial interaction between the hydrophobic poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and the hydrophilic cellulose nanofibrils. The composites obtained by solvent casting methods from N,N-Dimethylacetamide (...
