Properties
Description
Polylactic acid-chitosan, or PLA-chitosan, constitutes a research-focused derivative where PLA groups are grafted onto chitosan—a natural chitin-derived polymer. The resulting compound integrates chitosan's biological compatibility and adhesive characteristics with PLA's functional attributes.
