Applications. 330 $aThis book describes the synthesis, properties, and processing methods of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), an important family of degradable plastics. As the need for environmentally-friendly packaging materials increases, consumers and companies are in search for new materials that are largely produced from renewable resources, and are recyclable. To that end, an overall theme of the book is the biodegradability, recycling, and sustainability benefits of PLA. The chapters, from a base of international expert contributors, describe specific processing methods, spectroscopy techniques for PLA analysis, 410 0$aWiley series on polymer engineering and technology. 606 $aBiodegradable plastics 606 $aLactic acid 606 $aPolymers 615 0$aBiodegradable plastics. 615 0$aLactic acid. 615 0$aPolymers. 676 $a620.1/92323 701 $aAuras$b Rafael$0962144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139400903321 996 $aPoly(lactic acid)$92181426 997 $aUNINA
