Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PLA 3001D (Nature Works, Naarden, The Netherlands), a PLA brand with low molecular weight (84,500 Da of Mn), was used as a polymer for the preparation of the coupling agent. Maleic anhydride (MA), dicumyl peroxide (DCP), and calcium hydride (CaH2) were used for the synthesis of the coupling agent. Deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) used for the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) for the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) characterization were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Madrid, Spain). Dioxane, dichloromethane, methanol, potassium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid (37%) were supplied by Scharlau (Sentmenat, Spain).
PLA Ingeos Biopolymer 3251D (Nature Works, Naarden, The Netherlands), described as PLAc, was used as a polymer matrix for the fibre-reinforced composites. The reinforcement fibres were thermomechanical pulp from Norske Skog Saugbrugs.

Thermomyces lanuginosus solution (Lipozyme® TL 100L) was from Novozymes (Copenhagen, Denmark). Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate, sodium acetate and hydrogen peroxide (33%, H2O2) were from Panreac (Barcelona, Spain). Graphite flakes, sodium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate, sodium borohydride, Rhodamine B (RhB), trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). HPLC grade acetonitrile, methanol, tetrahydrofurane (THF) and dioxane (98%) were from Scharlau (Barcelona, Spain). Tween-80, dodecyl sulphate sodium (85%), Mercaptoethanol and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were purchased from Thermo Fischer Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA).

Fabrication of Porous PCL Microspheres

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCL, average molecular weight 80 000 Da (Mw/Mn <2), was obtained from Sigma Aldrich (Spain). Microspheres of Elvacite 2043 (a mixture of low molecular weight poly (ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)) with diameters ranging from 120 to 200 µm were purchased from Lucite International (USA). We will call them porogen microspheres hereafter. 1,4 Dioxane from Sigma Aldrich (Spain) was used as solvent for PCL, and ethanol (EtOH) (99% pure) from Scharlab (Spain) was used to dissolve the Dioxane and PEMA/PMMA in the freeze extraction and particle leaching process. Poly(vinyl alcohol), average Mw 130 000 Da, 99+ % hydrolyzed was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Spain). All the chemicals were used as received and with no further modification.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
