Physical - Mechanical Characterization Of Poly(lactide)/Poly ( ε- caprolactone ) blends with Ethyl Ester L-Lysine Triisocyanate As Reactive Agent.

A study on physical and mechanical properties of PLA/PCL polyesters reactive blends, obtained by adding LTI was made with the aim to apply these blends in biomedical field, for example for absorbable suture threads or scaffolds for cellular growth. Polyesters based reactive blends were obtained by internal mixing, and it was find out the possibility of finely control the characteristic properties of those materials by varying the weight fraction of the two components and the amount of reactive agent. Blends of different composition were characterized by torque measurements, uniaxial traction test and wet-ability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
