“…A large number of patents and articles about lactic acid polymers have been published in recent years (Jompang et al 2013;Padee et al 2013;Pivsa-Art et al 2013;Li et al 2014;Shi et al 2015). Although demand for PLA has expanded, its current production capacity of 450 million kg per year is dwarfed by the 200 billion kg of total plastics produced per year.…”

Lactic acid is a naturally occurring organic acid that can be used in a wide variety of industries, such as the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and, most recently, the medical industries. It can be made by the fermentation of sugars obtained from renewable resources, which means that it is an eco-friendly product that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a report that listed lactic acid as a potential building block for the future. Bearing the importance of lactic acid in mind, this review summarizes information about lactic acid properties and applications, as well as its production and purification processes.

“…For this reason, we would like to improve the toughness and stability of PLA in this research by blending with PTT. Padee et al suggested that a PLA/PTT blend was immiscible, which was confirmed by single T g and morphologies . The mechanical properties of the PLA/PTT blend were not all enhanced due to poor interfacial adhesion between PLA and PTT.…”

This research focuses on brittleness improvement of biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by reactive melt blending with poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT). First, PLA is simultaneously blended with PTT and a reactive compatibilizer, poly(ethylene‐co‐glycidyl methacrylate) (PEGMA), (one‐step blending procedure). In the PLA/PTT/PEGMA blend, PEGMA mainly disperses in the PLA matrix phase, and the blend shows unimproved tensile properties. To increase the reaction between PTT and PEGMA, PEGMA is sequentially blended with PTT then PLA (two‐step blending procedure). This procedure is effective in drastically enhancing elongation at break of the blend. The strain at break of the blend formed by two‐step blending is significantly improved because the blending procedure affects the blend morphology. PLA‐g‐PEGMA‐g‐PTT graft copolymer is formed at the interface between PLA and PTT during reactive melt blending with PEGMA when the two‐step blending procedure is employed as a blending method which is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and viscosity measurement. Such features bring about craze formation during tensile test and this is the reason why the toughening is achieved by the two‐step blending procedure.

“…cyclic dimers of lactic acid) [ 2 ], direct condensation polymerization or azeotropic dehydration condensation. One advantage of PLA is that this polymer is environment-friendly and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature [ 3 , 4 ], and eventually can be converted to carbon dioxide and water. PLA can be used in the food industry [ 5 , 6 ], tissue engineering scaffold [ 7 , 8 ], bacteria production intensification [ 9 ], wound dressing [ 10 ], moulded parts [ 11 ], absorbable suture [ 12 , 13 ], bone-implant [ 14 , 15 ] and drug-delivery system [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Polylactic electrospun porous fibres have been widely used in tissue engineering scaffolds. However, the application of linear polylactic is limited due to its poor hydrophilicity, which leads to phase separation and has been seldom used in porous fibre preparation. Instead, branching polylactic acts as a new effective method to prepare porous fibres because it can increase polylactic polar property and make it easy to be formulated in the following application. In the current study, we prepared an ultra-high molecular weight of high branching polylactic with glycerol as the initiator by controlling the ring-opening polymerization time, adding amount of catalyst and glycerol. The structure, molecular weight and thermal properties of copolymers were tested subsequently. The result showed that the surface of the high branching polylactic films is smooth, hydrophilic and porous. This branching polylactic formed electrospun porous fibres and possessed a strong adsorption of silver ion. Our study provided a simple and efficient way to synthesize branching polylactic polymer and prepare electrospun porous fibres, which may provide potential applications in the field of biomaterials for tissue engineering or antibacterial dressing compared with the application of linear polylactic and 3-arm polylactic materials.
