The aim of this work is to prepare nanocomposites based on PLLA and PLLA/TC nanoparticles with the antibacterial properties. Two PLLA with different molecular weights where synthesized via the reactive extrusion method. The PLLA/triclosan nanoparticles were prepared by the emulsification–diffusion process with few modifications. The synthesized nanoparticles were used to prepare PLLA/PLLATC nanocomposites with the antibacterial activity. These nanocomposites may be great alternatives to be used in tissue engineering and surgical implants
