Preparation and characterization of new biodegradable films made from Poly(L-lactic acid) and chitosan blends using a common solvent

Poly-(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) has been widely used for various biomedical applications due to its interesting properties such as its mechanical behavior, processability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Blending this polymer with chitosan that, besides being biodegradable and hydrophilic, can i...
