... on those properties. Methods: Pure poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and PLLA containing varying amounts of triethylcitrate (TEC) as a plasticizer (5-10-15%) were studied. The specimens were solution-cast and CO 2 laser-cut. Specimen dimensions were adapted to the strut size of polymeric vascular stents...
