This book encompasses the structure, physical properties, production method, and bio degradability analysis of polylactic acid. A discourse of factors influencing the fabrication of polylactic acid-based composites and their characterization is discussed. The effects of reinforcements in the polylactic acid composites and their possible reasons is included. The potential biomedical applications of polylactic acid is covered.
• Covers the structure, properties, manufacturing techniques, and processing of polylactic acid composites.
• Includes the tribological behaviour of biofiber reinforced polylactic acid composites and mechanical properties.
