[EN] To use shape memory materials based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA) for medical applications is essential to tune their transition temperature (T-trans) near to the human body temperature. In this study, the combination ...
The processing and characterization of biodegradable nanocomposites based on poly(ester-urethane) reinforced with different amounts (0.5, 1 and 3 wt %) of nanosized hydroxyapatite (nHA) are reported. The selected ...

[EN] Polyesters based on polyols and sebacic acid, known as poly(polyol sebacate)s (PPS), are attracting considerable attention, as their properties are potentially useful in the
context of soft-tissue engineering ...
[EN] In this work, the effect of the addition of different amount of nanosized hydroxyapatite (nHA) on the shape memory behavior of blends based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) has been ...
