The use of sorbitol-initiated polylactic acid as a coupling agent in resorbable phosphate glass fibre reinforced polylactic acid composites
Resorbable phosphate glass fibre (PGF) reinforced polymer composites have been investigated for use as fracture fixation plates. While demonstrating impressive initial properties, these composites have shown poor retention of mechanical properties after immersion in a hydrolytic environment. Existin...
