(1) The lactide was grafted onto hydroxyl groups of chitosan by using macromolecular initiator sodium of trimethylsilyl-chitosan, (2) poly (D,L-lactic acid)(PLA) with low molecular weight can be linked to the amino group by coupling activated PLA to trimethylsilyl-chitosan. Two graft copolymers had hydrophilic-hydrophobic character and can be applied as carriers for drug delivery.展开更多

The degradation characteristics of the poly （d, l-lactide） composite films were studied in vitro and in vivo. The acidity produced by poly （d, l-lactide） materials was not obvious. Adding chitosan and β-TCP can relieve the acidity problem and improve strength performance of films. The NGF has influences on the degradation characteristics of films. It is verified that PDLLA/CHI/β-TCP/NGF composite films prepared by solvent evaporation method have excellent degradation characteristics. It can be used as a perfect biomaterial for repairing nerve injuries.展开更多

PEG400 increased Mn while maintaining a lower Tg of PDLLA-PEG400-PDLLA, which together with PPZ improved the mechanical properties of PEG400-PUU-PPZ. The obtained optimum SMPUU with enhanced mechanical properties （O＇y = 24.28 MPa; zf = 698%; Uf = 181.5 MJIm3） and a Tg of 40.62~C exhibited sound shape memory properties as well, suggesting a promising SMPUU for in vivo biomedical applications.展开更多

Owing to the renewable and degradable characters, cellulose nanocrystals(CNCs) have been proposed to tailor the phase morphology of poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA) blend for producing high-performance fused deposition modeling(FDM) consumables. However,the main challenge associated with the ternary systems is the dispersion of the highly hydrophilic CNCs in non-polar PLLA blend by industrial melt blending without involving solution. Herein, with poly(vinyl acetate)(PVAc) modified CNCs powder(a mixture of PVAc grafted from CNCs and PVAc homopolymer latex), the selective dispersion of CNCs in PLLA has been achieved by simple melt processing of PLLA/TPU(polyether polyurethane)/CNCs blend. This results in the ultra-fine TPU droplets at nanoscale in PLLA and improves the melt processibility of composites in FDM due to the decreased viscosity ratio of the dispersed/matrix and the enhanced melt elasticity of PLLA. Combined with the intensive shear and continuous stretch effect during FDM, aligned TPU nanofibers(TNFs) were in situ formed along the elongational flow direction during deposition, which in turn contributed to the improvement of PLLA/TPU/CNCs with 5 wt% filler loading in tensile ductility by 418%, inter-layer adhesion strength and notched impact toughness by 261% and 210%, respectively, as well as achieved good dimensional accuracy and very fine surface quality.展开更多
