At the same time, Polylactic Acid is produced at the largest industrial scale of all biodegradable polymers. It is being used in biomedical applications, for bottle production and in compostable food packaging. It is also being evaluated as a material for tissue engineering. Mass production has tremendously reduced the cost of PLA production, making it an economically viable choice for fab 410 0$aPlastics Design Library 606 $aBiodegradable plastics 606 $aLactic acid 606 $aPolymers 615 0$aBiodegradable plastics. 615 0$aLactic acid. 615 0$aPolymers. 676 $a620.1 676 $a620.192323 700 $aSin$b Lee Tin$01823546 701 $aRahmat$b Abdul Razak$01823547 701 $aRahman$b Wan Azian Wan Abdul$01823548 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006503903321 996 $aPolylactic acid$94390268 997 $aUNINA
