This work evaluated the cytocompatibility, thermal and mechanical properties of composites of polylactide (PLA) and marine algae powder (MAP). To improve the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA-MAP composites, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was used as the compatibilizer for the blending of PLA and MAP. The PLA-g-GMA/MAP composites exhibited superior mechanical properties, attributing to higher compatibility between the polymer and MAP, comparing to PLA/MAP composites. The dispersion of MAP in the PLA-g-GMA matrix was highly homogeneous as a result of etherification. The lower melt torque of the PLA-g-GMA/MAP composites also made them more processable than PLA/MAP. To assess the cytocompatibility, normal human foreskin fibroblasts (FBs) were seeded onto each type of the composites. Results of FB proliferation, collagen production, and cytotoxicity assays indicated greater cytocompatibility for the PLA/MAP composites than for the PLA-g-GMA/MAP composites. Furthermore, both PLA/MAP and PLA-g-GMA/MAP composites were more cytocompatible than pure PLA. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
