Application

  • Polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposite: Processing, additive manufacturing, and advanced applications: Discusses the enthusiasm towards manufacturing of biopolymers, particularly PLA, and its applications in various fields due to its favorable environmental and mechanical properties (RA Ilyas, SM Sapuan, MM Harussani, M Hakimi, 2021).
  • Synthesis and applications of biopolymer composites: Highlights the development and applications of biodegradable biopolymer composites and nanocomposites, with an emphasis on PLA due to its wide use and environmental benefits (AM Díez-Pascual, 2019).
  • Biopolymer blends based on poly (lactic acid): Focuses on the blending of PLA with other biopolymers to enhance its mechanical and thermal properties, vital for expanding its application scope in industrial and environmental sectors (R Al-Itry, K Lamnawar, A Maazouz, 2015).
  • Migration of oligomers from a food contact biopolymer based on polylactic acid (PLA): Examines the safety and chemical characteristics of PLA when used in food packaging, focusing on the migration of its components under various conditions and their compliance with food safety standards (S Ubeda, M Aznar, P Alfaro, C Nerín, 2019).

Poly(lactic acid)-based antimicrobial materials received considerable attention as promising systems to control microbial growth. The remarkable physicochemical properties of PLA such as renewability, biodegradability, and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for clinical use open up interesting perspectives for
