Functionalization of PLA aerogels with TiO2 nanoparticles

This study was aimed to prepare material with high porosity and photocatalytic activity by immobilization of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) onto poly(lactic acid) (PLA) aerogels. PLA aerogels were prepared in three steps: (1) dissolution of polymer in chloroform at 22 °C, (2) chloroform replacement with e...
