Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources. While PLA exhibits relatively high tensile strength and stiffness compared with many commodity polymers, its ...

Bio-based thermoplastics are produced from renewable organic materials and can be recycled after use. Their resilience can be improved by blending bio-based thermoplastics with other thermoplastics.

Polylactic acid (PLA) has emerged as a leading biopolymer owing to its renewable origin, tunable properties and biodegradability. Synthesised via the fermentation of carbohydrate feedstocks—typically ...

The project concerning modification of oligo- and polylactic acids with thiacalix[4]arene derivatives was launched at Kazan Federal University three years ago. The main idea of the study was to ...
