Abstract EN
Biodegradable composite membranes containing propolis were produced from PCL/PLLA blends using a simple and low-cost solvent casting method, and subsequently their physicochemical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties were characterized.
SEM analysis revealed that the addition of propolis has created honeycomb-like structures on the film surfaces.
The flexibility of the films increased in the presence of propolis, which may provide ease of use during application.
Propolis disrupted the organized structure of both polymers at the molecular level and caused decreases in the melting points.
The films with propolis showed faster degradation in physiological conditions due to this molecular disruption.
Moreover, the PLLA/PCL/propolis composite films exhibited remarkable antibacterial activities against S.
aureus.
Collectively, the data suggest that the produced films might be used as an alternative to exiting barrier membranes in guided tissue regeneration.
