Triple-Shape Memory Behavior of Modified Lactide/Glycolide Copolymers
The paper presents the formation and properties of biodegradable thermoplastic blends with triple-shape memory behavior, which were obtained by the blending and extrusion of poly(<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-lactide-<i>co</i>-glycolide) and biore...
