Journal ArticleDOI
Miscibility and Specific Interactions in Blends of Poly(l-Lactide) with Poly(Vinylphenol)
TL;DR: In this article, a DSC and FTIR study of blends of poly(l-lactide) with poly(vinylphenol) (PVPh) was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational behavior of poly(L-lactide) studied by infrared spectroscopy.
TL;DR: The SCO model, which only accounts for mechanical coupling, has been found to predict adequately the relative intensity of the symmetric and asymmetric bands of dicarbonyl compounds, and is adopted here as an adequate yet simple tool for the interpretation of band splitting caused by intramolecular coupling of polylactide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glass transition behavior and dynamic fragility in polylactides containing mobile and rigid amorphous fractions
Ester Zuza,Jone M. Ugartemendia,Alberto Lopez,Emilio Meaurio,Ainhoa Lejardi,Jose-Ramon Sarasua +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the segmental dynamics of polylactide chains covering the Tg−−30 °C to Tg+30 ÂC range was studied in absence and presence of a crystalline phase by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) using the framework provided by the WLF theory and the Angell's dynamic fragility concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on recent developments in binder jetting metal additive manufacturing: materials and process characteristics
TL;DR: Binder Jetting Metal Additive Manufacturing (BJ-MAM) is a powder bed-based additive manufacturing technology as discussed by the authors, which consists of the deposition of liquid binder drople.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystallinity assessment and in vitro cytotoxicity of polylactide scaffolds for biomedical applications.
Jose-Ramon Sarasua,N. López-Rodríguez,Ester Zuza,S. Petisco,Begoña Castro,M. del Olmo,Teodoro Palomares,Ana Alonso-Varona +7 more
TL;DR: The preserved proliferation rate showed in MTT tests and the high colonization on the surface of polylactides observed by SEM denote that PLLA, PDLA and the equimolar PLLa/PDLA are useful biodegradable materials in which the crystalline characteristics can be tuned for specific biomedical applications.
