Toughening of Polylactide with High Tensile Strength via Constructing an Integrative Physical Crosslinking Network Based on Ionic Interactions

Dan-Dan Yang et al.

Summary: By developing an integration toughening mechanism, PLA-based materials with high strength and toughness were successfully prepared in this study. The physical network constructed throughout the toughening phase and PLA matrix enabled energy dissipation under dynamic impact stress and resistance to external stress under static tensile stress.

New thermoplastic elastomer triblock copolymer of PLLA for cardiovascular tissue engineering: Annealing as efficient tool to tailor the solid-state properties

G. Guidotti et al.

Summary: A new high molecular weight aliphatic copolyester of PLLA with ABA triblock architecture was successfully synthesized via ring opening polymerization, with chain extension reaction performed to increase the polymer molecular weight. Annealing was found to be an efficient tool to control the crystalline phase and mechanical properties of the material.

Direct radiative effects of airborne microplastics

Laura E. Revell et al.

Summary: Preliminary modelling shows that airborne microplastics may have a minor cooling influence on the atmosphere, with potential increasing effects on the climate system in the future. However, there are uncertainties regarding the geographical and vertical distribution of microplastics, and without efforts to overhaul plastic production and waste management practices, the abundance and radiative forcing of airborne microplastics will continue to rise.

Toughened PLA-b-PCL-b-PLA triblock copolymer based biomaterials: effect of self-assembled nanostructure and stereocomplexation on the mechanical properties

Neha Mulchandani et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of block lengths, microdomain morphology, and stereocomplexation on the mechanical properties of PLA-b-PCL-b-PLA triblock copolymers. The synthesized materials, with tailored molecular weight, displayed a wide range of mechanical properties and were found to be potential biomaterials after biocompatibility testing using rat bone osteosarcoma cells.
