Solvent Free Generation of Open and Skinless Foam in Poly(<scp>l</scp>-lactic acid)/Poly(<scp>d</scp>,<scp>l</scp>-lactic acid) Blends Using Carbon Dioxide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Foams generated via carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) processing typically exhibit a solid skin layer on the exterior surface and a closed-pore structure with limited interconnectivity in the core section thus limiting its application for biomedical intent. By controlling the properties of poly( l -lactic acid)/poly( d, l -lactic acid) (PLLA/PDLLA) blends and using CO 2 with specific processing parameters, skinless foams with interconnected porous structure were prepared in this work using only CO 2 as a physical foaming agent, which overcome the necessity to use organic solvents and solid porogens. The crystallization behaviors and sorption kinetics of PLLA and its blends were studied. Addition of PDLLA reduces the crystallinity of PLLA/PDLLA blends while treated with CO 2 as compared to neat PLLA. The solubility and diffusion coefficients of CO 2 in PLLA and its blends were found to be similar. Furthermore, the effect of PLLA/PDLLA blend ratio and CO 2 treatment conditions on the foam morphologies was investigated. Through fine parameter control, well interconnected pore structures with a porous surface were generated. Results indicated that by controlling the physical properties of samples combined with optimizing CO 2 foaming process, it is indeed possible to create biodegradable interconnected porous structures for potential biomedical applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
