While it exhibits comparable properties to conventional polymers like PET, in certain applications, particularly those involving elevated temperatures, PLA has performance limitations. In addition, the properties of PLA are dependent on the processing parameters in injection molding. Non-optimal process parameters can lead to defects or undesirable effects that cannot be detected immediately after injection molding. This includes orientation and residual stresses, which significantly influence the material and failure properties. The present study investigates the influence of injection molding machine settings on the residual stress state in PLA components. Test specimens were produced using two different mold tools: an ejector pin and a full-surface ejector, while varying key machine settings. Residual stress was assessed using a polariscope and the hole drilling method. The polariscope identified distinct isochromatic fringe patterns, particularly near the sprue, indicating regions of elevated residual stress. The hole drilling method confirmed the presence of high residual stress at the specimen edges, extending to a depth of 600 μm, with a peak stress value of 47 MPa. Results revealed that the ejector pin mold induced both tensile and compressive stress states, whereas the full-surface ejector mold predominantly caused high compressive stresses at the edges. These findings highlight the importance of optimizing injection molding parameters to minimize residual stress and improve the mechanical performance of PLA components.</p>","PeriodicalId":8866,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers","volume":"116 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bip.70026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144185891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is consensus that the strut thickness of BRS far exceeds that of metal stents; this is the main reason for the poor clinical outcomes. Therefore, overcoming the gap in mechanical properties between PLLA and metal, and effectively reducing the strut thickness of BRS without sacrificing mechanical properties, is a research priority. In this paper, the vital structural weakness of BRS causing the poor mechanical properties was discovered from the preparation process. We proposed the use of an elastomeric coating to alleviate the damage in weakness during deployment. Experiments and numerical simulations conducted on PLLA stents with and without poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) coating have confirmed that they can reduce stress concentration during deployment. The composite stents exhibit higher radial supporting capability after deployment. Significantly, the radial strength of the 100 μm thin-strut stent increased by 31%, up to 1061.8 mmHg. Moreover, in vivo animal experiments conducted on rabbits show encouraging biocompatibility and effectiveness of the composite stents.

This study prepared a modified cationic cyclodextrin (sPAM) and encapsulated Ce6 in an aqueous medium to create a nano-photodynamic system (Ce6@sPAM), which was characterized. In vitro evaluations assessed Ce6@sPAM's photodynamic performance, safety, antibacterial properties, and effects on immunoregulation. TEM images revealed Ce6@sPAM's irregular spherical shape, with a size of 236 nm by DLS and a Zeta potential of +16.4 mV. Ce6@sPAM exhibits a notably brief light half-life of merely 13 min, facilitating its swift in vivo clearance. SOSG and DCFH-DA fluorescence experiments showed Ce6@sPAM had stronger ROS generation (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and better bacterial penetration (<i>p</i> > 0.05) than Ce6. Co-incubation with Ce6@sPAM reversed bacterial surface potential from negative to positive. Bio-safety tests confirmed its excellent biocompatibility. In antibacterial tests, sPAM showed antibacterial properties, and Ce6@sPAM had a stronger effect than Ce6 under light (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Ce6@sPAM also exhibited high macrophage killing rates (> 90%) without specificity (<i>p</i> > 0.05) and can induce M1 macrophages to M2 polarization.

Polysaccharides provide the structural matrix, although metal ions, particularly divalent cations like calcium and cobalt, cross-link with the polysaccharides, thereby modulating the biofilm's rigidity and viscoelastic behavior. By introducing divalent cations into nanocellulose, we can replicate this natural cross-linking process, allowing us to finely tune the material's mechanical properties to more closely resemble those of bacterial biofilms. This approach not only enhances the accuracy of synthetic biofilm models over alginate hydrogels but also provides valuable insights into how biofilms maintain their structural integrity in various environments. Our findings indicate that nanocellulose exhibits mechanical properties closer to biofilms than alginate analogs, making it a suitable non-living control for biofilm studies.
