Environmental problems, such as global warming and plastic pollution have forced
researchers to investigate alternatives for conventional plastics. Poly (lactic acid)(PLA), one …

Environmental issues urge for the substitution of petrochemical-based raw materials with
more environmentally friendly sources. The biggest advantages of PLA over non …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) plastics is of great significance to the sustainable
development of the world. Today, most PLA is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of …

A novel electrically conductive nanofibrous scaffold based on polyaniline-co-(polydopamine-
grafted-poly (d, l-lactide))[PANI-co-(PDA-g-PLA)] was fabricated using electrospinning …

This paper aims to expand the range of matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry
analysis (MALDI MS) as a tool to establish the reaction kinetics for a particular case study …

Poly (lactic acid) has emerged as a capable biodegradable polymer which has been proved
to be an appropriate alternative for polyolefin. Monomer lactic acid being fermented by …

This study evaluated the exergetic and exergoeconomic performance of three L-lactic acid
(L-LA) production scenarios. All three scenarios produced L-LA from red macroalgae waste …

Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) is an efficient way to produce a
widely used biodegradable polymer, ie, poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL). Compared to …

1, 3-Dioxolan-4-one (DOX) chemistry was exploited for the synthesis of poly (lactic
acid)(PLA)-based copolymers. A new DOX monomer, bearing the naturally occurring …

A series of copolymers based on ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) in combination with lactone
monomers substituted with alkyl groups (4 and 6 carbon atoms), specifically δ-decalactone …
