Present and Future of PLA Polymers
Abstract
Lactic acid-based aliphatic polyesters (PLAs) are well known biocompatible bioresorbable polymers which are being increasingly used as biomaterials for temporary therapeutic applications. Because of their sensitivity to water and the formation of degradation by-products which can be easily metabolized by microorganisms, this type of polymers also has potential to replace commodity polymers in packagings or as mulch films. From an overview of synthesis routes, structural characteristics, and performances, an attempt is made to evaluate the future of PLA polymers insofar as industrial development is concerned.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
