Poly Z-lactide

Poly(Mactide) Blends. In recent years, poly(Z-lactide) (PLLA) received increasing attention because it is produced from renewable recourses and because of its biodegradability.

The compliance and longevity of a potential vascular graft material can influence the retention of mechanical integrity, Studies in the polyurethane/poly-Z-lactide (PU/PLLA) system have shown that a decrease in the percentage of polyurethane causes a decrease in compliance and an increase in aneurismal degeneration. These studies further showed that high mechanical compliance of the graft at implantation stimulates elastin forma-...

The phase space of the poly(ethylene-flZt-propylene)-h-poly(d, Z-lactide) (PEP-h-PLA) system was recently explored by Schmidt and Hillmyer [63]. All equilibrium symmetries L, C, S, and G were observed. The G morphology, however, existed in only a small region between the L and C in close proximity to the ODT (Fig. 12).
