Review Description

Abstract: Polylactic acid is a polyester polymer, which is recyclable and renewable as well. Membrane made of polylactic acid is acquiring attention nowadays due to its superior properties and versatility in application. This review primarily explains various synthesis routes of polylactic acid membrane and its applications. Sometimes, in membrane synthesis, polylactic acid is used with some other copolymers such as caprolactam, ethylene glycol to obtain the required functionality or property for its specific application. Some copolymers that find it helpful with polylactic acid for membrane synthesis are also discussed here with its specificity and enhanced properties. In this review, precise and detailed PLA membrane structure and its degradation mechanism is discussed. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
