Achieving biocompatible polylactic acid (PLA) fibers via polyphenol additive-assisted melt electrospinning for biomedical applications.
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable, biocompatible biopolymer with strong potential for biomedical fiber applications, but its low electrical conductivity and high melt viscosity limit fine fiber formation during melt electrospinning (MES). Screening of naturally derived additives identified gallic acid (GA) and q...
