- Polylactic acid (PLA)
is a biodegradable polymer derived from lactic acid.
- Polylactic acid
exhibits many properties that are equivalent to or better than many
petroleum-based plastics, which makes it suitable for a variety of
applications.
- PLA is resistant to
moisture and grease.
- Polylactic acid is not
a new material. It has been around for decades.
- Polylactic acid (a.k.a.
poly-lactide) is a polymer with a future.
- Polylactic Acid (PLA),
an affordable, recyclable, innovative packaging material made from
renewable resources.
- The basic
constitutional unit of PLA is Lactic Acid, which can be manufacture by
carbohydrates fermentationor chemical synthesis, although fermentation
process predominates.
- Chemical synthesisroute
is currently used to produce large scale quantities of racemiclactic
acid; however, it is economically unviable.
- Fermentation processcan
be divided according the type of bacteria in the process.
- Poly(L-lactic acid)
(PLA)-degrading Amycolatopsis sp. strains K104-1 and K104-2 were
isolated by screening 300 soil samples for the ability to form
clear
zones on the PLA-emulsified mineral agar plates.
- A low-molecular-weight
poly(lactic acid) was synthesized through the condensation reaction of
L-lactic acid.
- There are two main
methods to synthetizing PLA, ring-opening polymerization of lactide and
condensation polymerization of lactic acid.
- Injections of PLA are
performed in the median-deep layer of the dermis, where the material
stimulates fibroblast multiplication and collagen production.
- Initial uses of PLA
were limited to biomedical applications such as sutures3 and drug
delivery systems due to availability and cost of manufacture.
- PLA polymer used for
packaging and fiber applications. It is important that PLA is used
broadly in textile applications for several reasons.
- Biodegradable polymeric
blends are expected to be widely used by industry due to their
environmental friendliness and comparable mechanical
and thermal
properties.
- PLA among its
copolymers with glycolic acids (PLGA) are widely used in micro- and
nanoparticulate drug delivery systems because of their biocompatibility
and biodegradation properties.
- Amorphous poly
(DL-lactic
acid)and poly (lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)
polymers have been used to fabricate porous scaffolds for tissue
engineering applications via a supercritical foaming technique.
- Post consumer PLA can
be separated from Polyethylene tetraphthalate(PET) using near IR
technology.
- A technology is
developed for PLA chemical recycling.
