Introduction
Polylactic acid (PLA) also sometimes referred to as Polylactide is a biodegradable polymer, biocompatible thermoplastic, and aliphatic polyester. Recently, it is the most popular material having huge growth potential. PLA is also considered as the ecofriendly polymer due to its compostable nature and ability to be recycled. The product exhibits a high elastic modulus and a high level of transparency. As per NCBI, Polylactic acid is one of the most traded polymers globally.
As per authentic reports, Polylactic acid was first synthesized in 1845 by France-based chemist known as Theophile-Jules Pelouze by poly-condensation of naturally occurring lactic acid. However, the average molecular weight of PLA produced due to poly-condensation was very low.
However, in 1989, Dr. Patrick R. Gruber devised a lowly-priced commercial method for manufacturing PLA with high molecular weight. This helped the product find lucrative applications in diversified areas including agricultural sheets and recyclable & disposable bags.
Market Growth Dynamics
With massive use of Polylactic acid in rigid containers for storing water, yogurt, and juice, the market for Polylactic acid (PLA) is projected to gain traction in the years to come. Apart from this, developed countries in Europe and North America & Japan make use of PLA-based packaging. According to NIH researchers, the polymer is one of the cost-effective bio-based product as well as bio-degradable substitute for petrochemical plastics.
Furthermore, Polylactic acid is most widely used biodegradable polymer across myriad sectors in the recent times. For instance, it finds plethora of applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, temporary & long-term implantable devices, and other new rapidly emerging domains. It can be easily synthesized and can be customized for its use for varied therapeutic requirements.
In addition to this, the ability to customize to mechanical properties of a polymer as well as bio-degradation kinetics has made Polylactic acid products extremely useful in biomedical applications. Apart from this, PLA is widely utilized clinically as a biomedical scaffold for theranostics, implants, and drug delivery systems. This, in turn, will create lucrative growth avenues for the Polylactic acid industry over the years to come.
Apparently, PLA has gained massive popularity in packaging activities and is immensely used in fibers as well as chemical products. In addition to this, the product also finds use in manufacturing of films, bottles, coated paper, rigid containers, and myriad packaging applications. The thermoplastic polyester is also utilized in various products such as carpet, apparel, and nonwoven fiberfill owing to its exceptional features such as resilience & ultra-violet resistance. All these aforementioned factors will help the Polylactic acid (PLA) market gain traction in the years to come.
