The effects of physical aging, degree of crystallinity, and orientation of poly(1actic acid) (PLA) were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The samples of PLA with 96% [L] and 4% [ D ] contents were prepared by injection molding. The physical
## Abstract In this study, the process of manufacturing and sterilizing an orthopedic implant constructed from poly(Lβlactic acid) (PLLA) was closely simulated. The hydrogen peroxide gas plasma (HPGP) sterilization process was comparatively investigated against ethylene oxide (EtO). Characterizatio
## Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was blended with five plasticizers in a batchwise mixer and pressed into films. The films were analyzed by means of dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry to investigate the properties of the blends. Triacetine and tributyl citrate prov
Several samples of poly(1actic acid) with different molecular weights and tacticity have been prepared, and some PLLA injection moulded specimens have been annealed to promote their crystallization. From the characterization data, poly(L-lactide) showed more interesting mechanical properties than po
