## Abstract Hydroxyapatite/polyโLโlactide (HAp/PLLA) is a ceramic/polymer composite, whose application as a resorbable biomaterial for the substitution and repair of hard bone tissue is widely promising in orthopedic, oral, maxillofacial, and reconstructive surgery. Hot processing is a necessary st

## Abstract Poly(Lโlactide) (PLA) was meltโmixed with micrometerโsized and nanosized calcium carbonate (CaCO~3~) particles before and after modification with calcium stearate. Adhesion between the CaCO~3~ particles and the PLA matrix was assessed qualitatively by scanning electron microscopy observ
## Abstract Composites of poly(Lโlactide) (PLA) with hemp fibers (__Cannabis sativa__), prepared by batch mixing and plasticized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG; weightโaverage molecular weight = 600 g/mol), were examined by polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, wideโangle Xโr
This study evaluated the in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradation behavior of a novel polypyrrole (PPy)/poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) composite and PPy-coated poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) membranes. Test membranes were implanted subcutaneously in rats for 3-120 days. The biocompatibility was assess
