Copolymerization of L-Lactide and ε-Caprolactone promoted by zinc complexes with phosphorus based ligands

Ilaria D'Auria et al.

Summary: The zinc complexes with chelating phosphorous based pincer ligands were found to catalyze the ring-opening copolymerization of L-lactide and epsilon-caprolactone in the melt, resulting in high molecular weight copolymers with thermal properties strongly dependent on their composition.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Biodegradable Injectable Thermosensitive Smart Hydrogels for 5-Fluorouracil Delivery

Adam Kasinski et al.

Summary: The paper developed injectable, thermosensitive smart hydrogel local drug delivery systems releasing the model antitumour drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The biodegradable triblock copolymers synthesized through ring opening polymerization showed a sharp sol-gel transition at physiological temperature, with good mechanical properties at 37°C. In vitro release kinetics characterization indicated good control, with a total drug release time of approximately 12 hours.

The Blending of Poly(glycolic acid) with Polycaprolactone and Poly(l-lactide): Promising Combinations

Luca Magazzini et al.

Summary: Poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) has unique properties including high gas barrier properties, tensile strength, resistance to solvents, heat distortion temperature, stiffness, and biodegradability; combining PGA with other bioplastics can reduce costs and introduce new properties while maintaining green features. The presence of PGA in blends affects thermal properties and degradation behavior, accelerating the hydrolysis process, particularly in PLLA-based systems.

Impact of electron beam treatment on copolymers of polylactide and poly(trimethylene carbonate) in an air atmosphere

Magdalena Rzepna et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of ionizing radiation on polylactide (PLA) and poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) statistical copolymers using EPR spectroscopy, revealing that PLA radicals dominate in copolymers with ratios of 30:70 and 70:30 PLA and PTMC components. The results showed compatibility and miscibility between the components in both non-irradiated and irradiated samples, with chain scission predominantly over cross-linking in PLA and PLA-rich copolymers.
