Melt blending of poly(lactic acid) with biomedically relevant polyurethanes to improve mechanical performance

Minimally invasive surgery procedures are of utmost relevance in clinical practice. However, the associated mechanical stress on the material poses a challenge for new implant developments. In particular PLLA, one of the most widely used polymeric biomaterials, is limited in its application due to i...
