Abstract: Several samples of poly(lactic acid) with different molecular weights and tacticity have been prepared, and some PLLA injection moulded specimens have been annealed to promote their crystallization. From the characterization data, poly(L-lactide) showed more interesting mechanical properties than poly(D, L-lactide), and its behavior significantly improves with crystallization. In fact, annealed specimens possess higher values of tensional and flexural modulus of elasticity, Izod impact strength, and heat resistance. The plateau region of flexural strength as a function of molecular weights appears around Mv = 35,000 for PDLLA and amorphous PLLA and at higher molecular weight, around Mv = 55,000, for crystalline PLLA. The study of temperature effect shows that at 56°C only crystalline PLLA still exhibits useful mechanical properties. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Influence of Layer Thickness, Raster Angle, Deformation Temperature and Recovery Temperature on the Shape-Memory Effect of 3D-Printed Polylactic Acid Samples.
TL;DR: The results showed that the shape-memory effect of 3D-printed PLA parts depended strongly on recovery temperature, and depended more weakly on the deformation temperature and3D-printing parameters.

Processing of homogeneous ceramic/polymer blends for bioresorbable composites
TL;DR: In this article, three methods to mix ceramic fillers, hydroxyapatite or β-tricalcium phosphate, with a polymer matrix, a poly l-lactic acid, are investigated as a first step prior to supercritical foaming to prepare porous composite structures for biomedical applications.
