Production methods and applications of bioactive polylactic acid: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 22(4), P. 1831 - 1859

Published: April 2, 2024

Abstract Bioplastics appear as an alternative to fossil fuel-derived plastics because bioplastics are carbon neutral and often biodegradable, thus potentially solving the issues of plastic pollution climate change. In particular, polylactic acid is a substitute for traditional petrochemical-based polymers. Here, we review production with focus on surface modification integration bioactive compounds. Surface can be modified by chemical treatment, photografting, entrapment, plasma coating. Bioactive compounds incorporated encapsulation, impregnation, melt blending, solvent casting, electrospinning, in situ polymerization. Biomedical packaging applications discussed.
