  Abstract: In this article, we demonstrate luminescent properties of PLA blended with new 3-[2-(4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethylidene)-1, 3-thiazolidine-2, 4-dione and 3-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethylidene)-1, 3-thiazolidine-2, 4-dione (TD). This paper mainly aims at the preparation of intercalated thin films of PLA and TD. The formation of matrix-dopant composite films was confirmed by FTIR, SEM, TGA, DSC and XRD characterizations. This work really stands out from our previous work as TD has been better recognized as drug material in …
