Microbial production of D-lactic acid from dried distillers grains with solubles [PDF]
D-Lactic acid production is gaining increasing attention due to the thermostable properties of its polymer, poly-D-lactic acid (PDLA). In this study, Lactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens, was evaluated for its ability to produce D-lactic acid using

Miscibility Evaluation of Poly(L-Lactic Acid)/Poly(Lactic Acid-co-lysine) Blends [PDF]
Background The amorphous poly(lactic acid- co-lysine) (PLL) with hydrophilic reactive groups was synthesized by the condensing copolymerization and the blending miscibility of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and PLL was investigated. Methods The miscibility of PLLA and PLL was evaluated by analyzing the thermal properties, crystallization behaviors, crystal

Chopped basalt fibres: A new perspective in reinforcing poly(lactic acid) to produce injection moulded engineering composites from renewable and natural resources [PDF]
This paper focuses on the reinforcing of Poly(lactic acid) with chopped basalt fibres by using silane treated and untreated basalt fibres. Composite materials with 5–10–15–20–30–40 wt% basalt fibre contents were prepared from silane sized basalt fibres

How to combine a hydrophobic matrix and a hydrophilic filler without adding a compatibilizer – Co-grinding enhances use properties of renewable PLA-starch composites [PDF]
In order to avoid the use of compatibilizers or plasticizers, co-grinding was performed to produce PLA – starch composite materials. Fragmentation and agglomeration phenomena were analysed to propose a production mechanism.
