Multiple Scenarios

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most extensively studied biodegradable materials. PLA is a versatile material with excellent bio-compatibility, bioabsorbability, biodegradability, and low toxicity. As an environmentally friendly polymer, PLA is favored by researchers and has explored many commercial applications, playing an important role in medicine and industry to replace many traditional petrochemical-based polymers. However, the strength and mechanical properties of PLA need to be improved to meet the practical application of multiple scenarios. The purpose of this review is to explore the modification methods of grafted copolymerization and block co-polymerization to improve the performance of PLA. This review also focuses on the medical applications and covers some non-medical applications of PLA.

Optimal Injection

Due to environmental concerns, biodegradable materials, which are currently used in many medical applications, are being considered as a candidate for replace plastics in the future. One of the most common mass production processes to shape biodegradable materials is injection molding. However, the material manufacturers usually do not provide optimized parameter information. In this research, two biodegradable materials, PLA 3001D and Biomax, are investigated. Experiments are conducted utilizing the Taguchi method to determine optimal injection molding parameters, which include injection speed, injection pressure, holding pressure, and cooling time. Shrinkage was the major index to evaluate the injection results. As a result, the best combinations of parameters were determined.

This paper describes a general data base management package, devoted to medical applications. SARI is a user-oriented system, able to take into account applications very different by their nature, structure, size, operating procedures and general objectives, without any specific programming. It can be used in conversational mode by users with no previous knowledge of computers, such as physicians or medical clerks.As medical data are often personal data, the privacy problem is emphasized and a satisfactory solution implemented in SARI.The basic principles of the data base and program organization are described ; specific efforts have been made in order to increase compactness and to make maintenance easy.Several medical applications are now operational with SARI. The next steps will mainly consist in the implementation of highly sophisticated functions.
