Mixing of poly (L-lactic acid)(PLLA) and poly (D-lactic acid)(PDLA) affords stereocomplex-
type PLA (sc-PLA) having a high melting temperature of 230° C, and its use provides higher …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is an important biomaterial with its easy availability and wide
spread acceptability in biomedical field. The most appreciable characteristic nature of PLA is …

It is recorded that Théophile-Jules Pelouze first synthesized poly (lactic acid)(PLA) by
polycondensation of lactic acid in 1845. 1 In 1932, Wallace Hume Carothers et al …

Stimuli-responsive polymers possess the unique property of responding to changes in their
microenvironment. Use of thermo-responsive polymers for fabrication of a variety of …

The thermo-reversible formation of wormlike micelles from a polystyrene-block-polyethylene-
block-poly (methyl methacrylate)(PS-b-PE-b-PMMA) triblock terpolymer with a crystallizable …

A detailed analysis of the IR spectrum of melt-quenched PLLA− PEG− PLLA sample and its
change with temperature is presented. It was found that, in the initial state of the melt …

This study focuses on the aggregation behavior of the biodegradable amphiphilic block
copolymers based on methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)(mPEG) as a hydrophilic block and …

Aggregate‐level photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted significant interest and driven
substantial advances in multifunction phototheranostic platforms. As exemplified by two …

A nanocarrier, lactosome, which is composed of poly (l-lactic acid)-block-poly (sarcosine), as
a contrast agent for the liver tumor imaging was examined using the near infrared …

Polymer single crystals and correlated crystalline structures are reviewed by emphasizing
the last 10–20 years of research on fundamental concepts, single crystal engineering, and …
