Abstract:
The demand for an adoption of renewable resources rather than finitely available non renewable sources for industrial purposes are rising, with the growing environmental constraints. Polymers being one of the crucial part of almost all the industries, pioneer in the list of sources needed for various applications. This makes polymers that can be obtained from renewable sources being studied widely and are anticipated to make a revolution in the field of packaging industry, medical field, and automobile industry. Polylactic acid (PLA) is one among such biopolymers, which is an aliphatic polyest

Abstract:
Polymers are made from the monomers that are used for packaging purposes. The degradation of polymers can take place either abiotic or biotic pathways. Abiotic pathway occurs from thermal, photo-degradation, and catalytic methods whereas, biotic occurs in presence of different types of microorganisms. The degradation of polymers (polyethylene and polylactic acid) was explained by the thermal, catalytic, and biodegradation process. The thermal degradation of polyethylene and polylactic acid was explained by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curve. Catalysts such as zeolites and amorphous sil

Biodegradable polymeric materials derived from renewable resources have attracted tremendous attention in different application. Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most useful biodegradable polymers. It is difficult to synthesize high molecular weight polylactic acid by direct polycondensation. The present work describes the synthesis of high molecular weight PLA by varying the duration of reaction and changing the sequence of catalyst addition. Binary catalyst used was SnCl2.2H2O/maleic anhydride and p-toluene sulfonic acid. PLA with molecular weight (6.503X105) was obtained in 50 hours. FTI

From the last few decades, biodegradable composites have become best alternatives over the petro based polymer because these degrade in the simple compound in the natural environments. Among the available biodegradable polymers, polylactic acid (PLA) is more popular due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties, that can be used in the biomedical application, such as sutures, bone and ligament fixation screws etc. In this study, synthesis of PLA was performed by ring opening polymerization and Calcium phosphate/Polylactic acid (PLA) bio-composites were prepared by melt mixing technique

The paper investigated the modifying possibility of the biodegradable polymer materials surface (polylactic acid and polycaprolactone) in radio frequency discharge plasma, initiating hydroxyapatite solid target sputtering. It was demonstrated that discharge plasma treatment adjusts the surface properties of biodegradable polymers – surface free energy and the wetting angle. The disadvantage of biodegradable polymers, limiting their use in reconstructive medicine, is their hydrophobicity. The surface of biodegradable polymers becomes hydrophilic after modification.

Thus use of a sustained/controlled release formulation of etoposide was indicated.
