A review on poly lactic acid (PLA) as a biodegradable polymer

Nur-Azzah Afifah Binti Taib et al.

Summary: Biodegradable plastics, particularly poly lactic acid (PLA), have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics, due to their wide availability, safe decomposition, and comparable properties to traditional plastics. The demand for PLA has led to a steady growth in the global market, making it a popular choice in various industries.

Promoted formation of stereocomplex in enantiomeric poly(lactic acid)s induced by cellulose nanofibers

Qian Ren et al.

Summary: The addition of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) significantly reduced the half-crystallization time of the PLLA/PDLA blend, and when 3% modified CNFs were incorporated, almost exclusively SC crystallites were formed with no HC crystallite presence. This was speculated to be due to enhanced interchain molecular interactions between CNFs and PLA, presenting a feasible and efficient method for producing high-performance PLA materials with exclusively SC crystallites.

Cu(II) adsorption on Poly(Lactic Acid) Microplastics: Significance of microbial colonization and degradation

Ying Sun et al.

Summary: The study found that biofilms can enhance the adsorption capacity of poly(lactic acid) microplastics (PLA MPs) for Cu(II), with degradation process being enhanced with longer incubation. Removal of biofilms can increase the adsorption of Cu(II) on PLA MPs, and the adsorption capacity of PLA MPs is pH-dependent.

Bioplastics for a circular economy

Jan-Georg Rosenboom et al.

Summary: Bioplastics have the potential to contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy by reducing carbon footprint and offering advantageous material properties. However, they also face challenges such as negative agricultural impacts, competition with food production, unclear end-of-life management, and higher costs. Emerging chemical and biological methods can enable the upcycling of plastic waste into higher-quality materials. Standardization and guidelines are needed to guide purchasing choices, and clear regulations and financial incentives are essential for the large-scale adoption of bioplastics in a truly sustainable manner.

Controllable biodegradation and drug release behavior of chitosan-graft-poly(D, L-lactic acid) synthesized by an efficient method

Qianyu Sun et al.

Summary: Controlled degradation is crucial for biodegradable polymers used as drug carriers in order to regulate drug release rate. In this study, chitosan-graft-poly(D, L-lactic acid) copolymers with high MSPDLLA were synthesized, showing controllable biodegradability for drug release rate modulation. The results revealed that the biodegradation rate of CgPCs could be regulated by MSPDLLA, leading to burst or sustained release of drugs depending on the MSPDLLA value.
