With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, biodegradable materials are more and more widely used in various fields. Among them, polylactic acid (PLA), as a biodegradable material, has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and is widely used in medical, packaging, textiles and other fields. However, the mechanical properties and processability of PLA are relatively poor, limiting the range of applications. To improve the performance of PLA, the researchers developed a new type of PLA-MAL.
PLA-MAL is a polymer prepared by covalent bonding of end-based maleimide to PLA chains. This covalent bonding gives PLA-MAL higher mechanical properties and better processability. Compared to conventional PLA, PLA-MAL has higher strength, better heat resistance, and higher thermal stability. In addition, PLA-MAL also has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, making it a wide range of applications in the medical field.
In the medical field, PLA-MAL can be used to make biodegradable medical devices and drug carriers. For example, PLA-MAL can be used to make biodegradable surgical sutures, stents, catheters and other medical devices, as well as degradable drug carriers for drug delivery and **. Due to the good biocompatibility and biodegradability of PLA-MAL, these medical devices and drug carriers can be naturally degraded in the body, reducing harm to the human body and ***
In addition to the medical sector, PLA-MAL can also be used in the packaging and textile sectors. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and processability, PLA-MAL can be used to manufacture biodegradable packaging materials and textiles. These materials can be naturally degraded after use, reducing pollution to the environment.
