Biodegradable and Antimicrobial PLA–OLA Blends Containing Chitosan-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles with Shape Memory Properties for Potential Medical Applications

Biodegradable and Antimicrobial PLA–OLA Blends Containing Chitosan-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles with Shape Memory Properties for Potential Medical Applications

To use shape memory materials based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA) for medical applications is essential to tune their transition temperature (T<sub>trans</sub>) near to the human body temperature. In this study, the combination of lactic acid oligomer (OLA), acting as a plasticizer, togeth...
