Thermal Properties, Biodegradability and Cytotoxicity of PLA/Sericin Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, PLA/sericin films at various contents of sericin were prepared. Thermal properties, in vitro degradability and in vitro cytotoxicity of the films were characterized. The results illustrated that the incorporation of sericin into PLA matrix crucially affected thermal properties and biodegradability of the films and also enhanced human fibroblast cells attachment and proliferation on the film surface.
