Preparation of Chitosan-Coated Poly(L-Lactic Acid) Fibers for Suture Threads
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable fiber, and a promising material for use in biomedical applications. However, its hydrophobicity, low hydrolyzability, and poor cell adhesion can be problematic in some cases; consequently, the development of improved PLA-based materials is required. In th...
