Reconstitution of Injectable Poly-D,L-lactic Acid

Preparation of Cylinder-Shaped Porous Sponges of Poly(L-lactic acid), Poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid), and Poly(ε-caprolactone)

Design of mechanical skeletons of biodegradable synthetic polymers such as poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is important in the construction of the hybrid scaffolds of biodegradable synthetic polymers and naturally derived polymers such as collagen. In this study, cylinder-shaped PLLA, PLGA, and PCL sponges were prepared by the ...

Batch Foaming of Amorphous Poly (DL-Lactic Acid) and Poly (Lactic Acid-co-Glycolic Acid) with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: CO2 Solubility, Intermolecular Interaction, Rheology and Morphology

Functional Properties of Biodegradable Nanocomposites from Poly Lactic Acid (PLA)

Nanocomposite composed of organoclay(Cloisite 20A-C20A) and Poly lactic acid (PLA) was prepared by solvent casting method. Physical, mechanical, thermal, barrier and microstructure properties of the composite were studied. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scannin...

Considerations for the use of injectable poly-L-lactic acid in people of color.

With demand for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures rising in patients of color, it is becoming increasingly important for clinical dermatologists to be aware of specific needs of these patients. This article therefore reviews considerations for using cosmetic procedures on skin of color, and reports the authors' clinical experience with the use of injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA, Sculpt...

Synthesis and Hydrolytic Degradation of Substituted Poly(DL-Lactic Acid)s

Non-substituted racemic poly(DL-lactic acid) (PLA) and substituted racemic poly(DL-lactic acid)s or poly(DL-2-hydroxyalkanoic acid)s with different side-chain lengths, i.e., poly(DL-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) (PBA), poly(DL-2-hydroxyhexanoic acid) (PHA), and poly(DL-2-hydroxydecanoic acid) (PDA) were synthesized by acid-catalyzed polycondensation of DL-lactic acid (LA), DL-2-hydroxybutanoic acid (...
