Synthesis and characterization of poly L-Lactic acid by direct polycondensation

Abstract

Biodegradability, Biocompatibility, Direct polycondensation, poly L-Lactic acid, Average molecular weight. Significant scientific and engineering efforts have been made in the discovery, development, and application of polymers as a result of social and economic progress. One of the most promising biopolymers is polylactic acid (PLLA), which may be manufactured from nontoxic renewable feedstock. Due to its qualities including biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical strength, and processability, PLA has become a crucial polymeric material for biomedical applications. By fermenting sugars sourced from renewable resources like corn and sugarcane, lactic acid (LA) can be produced. Thus, PLLA is a non-toxic, eco-friendly polymer with properties that allow for usage in the human body.
