Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) consist of one or more calcium orthophosphate
powders, which upon mixing with water or an aqueous solution, form a paste that is able to …

Interest in renewable polymers increased exponentially in the last decade and in this context
poly (lactic acid)(PLA) became the leader mainly for practical reasons. Nevertheless, it is …

In recent years, there is an increasing demand for replacing hazardous agrochemicals in
intensive farming systems with natural pesticides, such as essential oils. Essential oils are …

The water absorption, chemical resistance, and biological properties are contributing factors
to the overall performance of bio-composites, especially for outdoor applications. The …

In this study, the thermal degradations of some commercial polylactide (PLA) films, pure and
subjected to various superficial treatments, were investigated in both inert (flowing nitrogen) …

The aim of the work was to determine the impact of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on thermal
properties of polylactide-based nanocomposites in the form of a film. Polylactide …

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are extensively used as synthetic bone grafts, but their
poor mechanical properties limit their applicability to non‐stress‐bearing applications. The …

Branched poly (lactic acid) was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of lactide using
castor oil as an initiator. The structure of the branched polymer was confirmed by 1 H …

The aim of the study was to prepare elastic composites of epoxidized natural rubber with
polylactide that was reinforced with lignocellulose. To improve the functional properties of an …

Polylactide multifilament yarns were textured in order to be endowed with properties of
natural staple fibre yarns for textile applications. Texturing promotes the formation of stable …
