Analysis of orientation behavior in poly(lactic acid) billets during extrusion using a finite element method and chain network model

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has attracted much attention for use in bone fixation devices, which are used for fracture treatment, because it degrades to nontoxic lactic acid through nonenzymatic hydrolytic degradation. However, the application of such device is limited to relatively low-load regions, be...
