Published: April 7, 2025

Block polymers present an almost endless realm of possibilities to develop functional materials for myriad applications. The established self-assembly block allows researchers access properties that are inaccessible in homopolymers. However, there is a need more sustainable options than the current commodity polymers. Derived from renewable resources and industrially compostable, poly(lactide) (PLA) at forefront technological advancements Its material including high stiffness, relatively glass transition temperature, semicrystallinity isotactic versions lend themselves many applications, its ease synthesis provides well-established platform developing high-performance materials. This Perspective highlights recent associated with PLA-containing polymers, their syntheses, mesostructural considerations, mechanical properties, resilient elastomers tough plastics. We also give our perspective on subfield PLA outlook future, assessment exciting developments yet come.
