Abstract High temperature rubbing is a fast and low‐cost method that can align semi‐crystalline polymers such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by application of shear‐force via rotating cylinder covered with microfiber cloth on thin film maintained at high temperature. A multi technique approach uncovers the role thickness PLA structure. Both poly( l ‐lactic (PLLA) stereo‐complex (SC‐PLA) be readily ...

Continuous polysaccharide fibers and nonwovens—based on cellulose, hydroxypropyl chitosan, or alginate—containing biopolymeric microcapsules (MC) mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are prepared using a wet-spinning solution blowing technique. The MCs homogeneously distributed in the fiber matrices whereas MSNs form discrete micron-sized aggregates as demonstrated scanning electron-, fluoresc...

Poly(lactic aicd) particles stimulate collagen production through foreign body reaction, contributing to the formation of fibrotic tissues which is beneficial for variety tissue-related therapies such as facial rejuvenation and wound healing.

3D printing is a popular fabrication technique because of its ability to produce complex architectures. Melt-based widely used for thermoplastic polymers like poly(caprolactone) (PCL), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and poly(lactic-co-glycolic (PLGA) their low processing temperatures. However, traditional melt-based techniques require temperatures pressures high enough achieve continuous flow, limiti...

The production of electrically conductive additive manufacturing feedstock from recycled poly(lactic acid) (rPLA), carbon black (CB), and bio-based plasticiser castor oil is reported herein. filament was used to print...
