Article: Research from Chulalongkorn University reveals new findings on macromolecular physics.

"Ultra-fine fiber mats of poly(L-lactic acid) containing gallic acid were prepared by electrospinning from gallic acid-containing PLLA solution in 7:3v/v dichloromethane (DCM)/N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The amount of the as-loaded gallic acid was 40% w/w (based on the weight of PLLA in the solution) or 28.6 wt.-% (based on the weight of the resulting fiber mats)," scientists in Bangkok, Thailand report.

"Both the neat and the gallic acid-loaded PLLA fibers were smooth, with the average diameters of 965 and 843 nm, respectively. No aggregates of gallic acid were observed on the fiber surface and the actual amount of gallic acid in the gallic acid-loaded PLLA ...
