Abstract: Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) blends were melt-mixed and compatibilized to investigate their biocompatibility, biodegradability and thermally induced shape memory properties. The blend compositions were PLA/TPU: 80/20 (20TPU) and PLA/TPU: 50/50 (50TPU). 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (PDI)… read more here.
