Although widely-used biodegradable polymers have been extensively studied for conventional manufacturing processes, this is the first study considering effect of interfacial bonds between extruded filaments – most important aspect related to additive on degradation at 37 °C. Its results improve confidence in material extrusion process and negate one crucial unknown factors bioresorbable product...

The development of polylactide (PLA)/cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) nanocomposites in the aim to increase gas barrier properties has been widely studied, but gave rise conflicting results. To better understand underlying transport mechanisms, PLA/CNC were produced at concentrations between 5 and 50 wt%. role interface for permeability was investigated using three different CNC surface grafts, nam...
