Upon blending enantiomeric poly (l-lactide)[ie, poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA)] and poly (d-
lactide)(PDLA)[ie, poly (d-lactic acid)(PDLA)] or synthesis of stereo block poly (lactide)[ie …

Defects in bones can be caused by a plethora of reasons, such as trauma or illness, and in
many cases, it poses challenges to the current treatment approaches for bone repair. With …

Fully biobased poly (L-lactide)-b-polymyrcene-b-poly (L-lactide) triblock copolymers with
PLLA as the hard block and polymyrcene as the soft block were synthesized by the ring …

Abstract Poly (l-lactic acid)-poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA-PEG-PLLA) and
poly (d-lactic acid)-poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (d-lactic acid)(PDLA-PEG-PDLA) triblock …

Polylactide (PLA) stereocomplexes (SCs) containing amorphous block copolymers have
gained enormous interest due to their unique properties and wide range of potential …

Abstract Poly (l-lactide)(PLLA) is a biodegradable bioplastic that has been widely
investigated for use instead of petroleum-based plastics. However, its practical applications …

The brittleness of poly (L-lactide)(PLLA) bioplastic is the main disadvantage for practical
applications. Herein, we report the synthesis of high-molecular-weight PLLA-b-poly …

Stereocomplex polylactides (scPLAs) are high-performance biodegradable bioplastics
because they show better mechanical properties and heat-resistance than the poly (L …

Stereocomplexation in peptides and proteins is a fascinating phenomenon arising from their
inherent stereoisomerism. Peptides and proteins, with their three-dimensional helical …

Understanding the kinetics and mechanisms of polymerization, particularly the role of a
catalyst or initiator used, allows for the manipulation and control of the fabrication of new …
