Developing efficient strategies for the conversion and recycling of polylactic acid (PLA) has gained significant attention in recent years. Literature studies have reported photoreforming strategies ...

Futerro, an affiliate of the Belgian lactic acid maker Galactic, plans to build a polylactic acid (PLA) plant in Port-Jérôme, in the Normandy region of France. The biobased-polymer facility will ...

A recent study published in Polymer Composites evaluated the effectiveness of maleic anhydride-grafted poly(lactic acid) (MAH-g-PLA) as a compatibilizer in bio ...

While natural polymers, including starches and cellulose, are still commonly used in biomedical research, the utilization of synthetic biodegradable polymers in pharmaceutical and tissue-engineering ...

South Korean chemical maker LG Chem and the US agricultural giant ADM have selected Decatur, Illinois, as the site for their proposed corn-based lactic acid and polylactic acid (PLA) polymer plants.

With increasing concerns over plastic pollution, biopolymers like PLA and PBS have gained significant attention as sustainable alternatives. PLA offers biodegradability and a reduced carbon footprint ...
