Development of Bionanocomposites Based on PLA, Collagen, and AgNPs and Characterization of Their Stability and In Vitro Biocompatibility

Bionanocomposites including poly(lactic acid) (PLA), collagen, and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared as biocompatible and stable films. Thermal properties of the PLA-based bionanocomposites indicated an increase in the crystallinity of PLA plasticized due to a small quantity of AgNPs. The r...
