Polylactic Acid for Surgical Implants

Archives of Surgery, 1966
LACTIC acid in its racemic or optically active form can undergo acid catalyzed homopolymerization to yield a polymer of lower molecular weight, which is not suitable for plastic or fibers.1However, the cyclic diester, the lactide2of lactic acid, can polymerize by anionic ring opening addition mechanism under the influence of catalysts to a high polymer,

Polylactic Acid

2012
Polylactic acid (PLA), a bio-based polymer produced from fermentation of starch into lactic acid followed by polymerization process, is considered to be a sustainable packaging material. Stereochemical isomers, P-LLA and P-DLA, affect polymer final properties and can be used in controlled release packaging (CRP) to provide a wide range of release ...

Biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA)

Physical Sciences Reviews, 2021
Abstract Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable material that can be processed using the common processing techniques, such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. PLA has widely been researched and tested due to its biodegradable nature. As a biodegradable material, PLA can be subject to some inherently poor qualities, such

Direct Photoreforming of Real-World Polylactic Acid Plastics into Highly Selective Value-Added Pyruvic Acid under Visible Light.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Although polylactic acid (PLA) represents a pivotal biodegradable polymer, its biodegradability has inadvertently overshadowed the development of effective recycling techniques, leading to the potential wastage of carbon resources.

Polylactic Acid Technology

Advanced Materials, 2000
Polylactic acid is proving to be a viable alternative to petrochemical-based plastics for many applications. It is produced from renewable resources and is biodegradable, decomposing to give H2O, CO2, and humus, the black material in soil. In addition, it has unique physical properties that make it useful in diverse applications including paper coating,

Photocatalytic Upgrading of Polylactic Acid Waste into Alanine under Mild Conditions.

Angewandte Chemie
Polylactic acid (PLA) has attracted increasing interest as a sustainable plastic because it can be degraded into CO2 and H2O in nature. However, this process is sluggish, and even worse, it is a CO2 emission and carbon resource waste process.

Polylactic Acid Chain 2

2021
Polylactic Acid Chain 2 is the shorter of two oversize sculptural necklaces made entirely from polylactic acid (PLA) polymer plastic in two forms: 3D printed virgin PLA bead collars and recycled PLA beads, the latter materials made from waste PLA obtained from makerspaces around Sydney.
