Abstract

Our ecosystem is now considerably disturbed and is slowly being damaged as a result of the problems arising out of the usage of nonbiodegradable synthetic materials. Regular depletion of the petrochemical feedstock is leading to, more and more attention being focussed on synthesizing material from annually renewable resources. Polylactic acid is one such material. It is derived from corn, and it finds application in the field of textiles, pharmaceuticals, and plastics.
