The irradiation of polymeric materials with ionizing radiation (γ-rays, X-rays, accelerated electrons, ion beams, etc.) may lead to disproportion, hydrogen abstraction, arrangements, degradation, and/or the formation of new bonds. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on some new poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based blends and biocomposites, which is crucial when they are used for food packaging or medical purposes.

- * The PLA/R biocomposites demonstrated increased thermoxidative stability and low permeability, making them suitable for food packaging applications while also showing good biocompatibility for human use.
- * In vivo studies indicated that PLA/R materials produced similar health responses to control groups, enhancing their potential as biomaterials for various medical applications like tissue engineering and wound management.
