However, biodegradable polymers exhibit high water vapour permeability and solubility. Functional properties of biodegradable polymers can be enhanced by blending with other polymers, lipids, surfactants, emulsifiers or other additives. Combining some polymers and additives will change the microstructure, ...
Biocomposites of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and pectin, which are low-cost organic materials, were prepared using an internal mixing machine in various pectin contents, i.e., 2, 4, 6 and 8% w/w. When pectin was added as a nucleating agent, the mechanical properties of the biocomposites, ...

We introduce a general class of mixture models suitable to describe water-dependent degradation and erosion of biodegradable polymers in conjunction with d... Jo?o S. Soares,P Zunino - 《Biomaterials》 被引量: 95发表: 2010年 Biodegradation dynamics of polymer-starch composites The dynamics of sta...
The shape memory behavior of PLLA (poly(l-lactide)) and chitosan/PLLA composites was studied. PLLA and chitosan were compounded to fabricate novel materials which may have biodegradability and biocompatibility. Chitosan does not significantly affect the glass and melting transition temperature of the PL...
One is the processability of the materials.ProcessabilityThere are several challenges in melt-processing biobased, biodegradable polymers, owing to their molecular structure. Their low shear and heat resistance, low thermal stability, high moisture sensitivity, and physical aging require some modifications...
