The present work highlights the crucial role of interfacial compatibilization on design polylactic acid (PLA)/Magnesium (Mg) composites for bone regeneration applications. In this regard, an amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide-b-L,L-lactide) diblock copolymer with predefined composition was synthesised and used as a new interface to provide physical interactions between metallic filler biopolymer matrix. This strategy allowed (i) overcoming PLA/Mg adhesion weakness (ii) modulating composite...
An innovative mixing device RMX (Reactor/elongational flow MiXer), based on an elongational flow, is used to formulate new biocomposites Doum palm fiber (at various proportions) and PLA polymer. Due its high has the ability mix immiscible products disperse solid phase (fiber) in viscous phase. The morphological aspect of PLA/Palm composites shows a good appearance orientation dispersive efficiency as confirmed by X‐ray tomography. For higher content, porosity rate decreases from 19% for...
In this study, polylactide (PLA)/magnesium (Mg) composites were produced through extrusion and compression-molding. order to enhance the interfacial adhesion between hydrophobic matrix hydrophilic filler, an amphiphilic PEO-b-PLLA block copolymer was used. The morphological study shows effective improvement of PLA/Mg interactions following addition. Moreover, surface contact angle test proves decrease PLA hydrophobicity. Thus, a significant influence on cell is expected. Furthermore,...
