Poly(lactic acid)/Zinc/Alginate Complex Material: Preparation and Antimicrobial Properties

The aim of this study was to investigate an antimicrobial and degradable composite material consisting of melt-blown poly(lactic acid) nonwoven fabrics, alginate, and zinc. This paper describes the method of preparation and the characterization of the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of...
