Beschreibung
This book describes the synthesis, properties, and processing methods of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), an important family of degradable plastics. As the need for environmentally-friendly packaging materials increases, consumers and companies are in search for new materials that are largely produced from renewable resources, and are recyclable. To that end, an overall theme of the book is the biodegradability, recycling, and sustainability benefits of PLA. The chapters, from a base of international expert contributors, describe specific processing methods, spectroscopy techniques for PLA analysis, and and applications in medical items, packaging, and environmental use.

"In summary, I found this book to be a valuable, one-source reference to the chemistry of polylactides. It should serve as an excellent compilation for researchers and prospective researchers in this growing field of polymer chemistry. I recommend this book to all who are interested in these biodegradable polymers." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 15 April 2011)
