Developing efficient strategies for the conversion and recycling of polylactic acid (PLA) has gained significant attention in recent years. Literature studies have reported photoreforming strategies ...

Scientists found that incorporating sugar units into polymers makes them more degradable when exposed to UV light. Many plastics that are labelled as biodegradable are only compostable under ...

Polyglycolic and polylactic acid are biodegradable, thermoplastic materials that are used in a wide range of applications, particularly in biomedical applications such as medical implant hardware, ...
