• Properties and medical applications of polylactic acid: A review (2015, methodology): “On the other hand, ring-opening polymerization (ROP), which occurred by ring opening of the lactide (cyclic dimmer of lactic acid) in the presence of a catalyst, was the most commonly used method to obtain high molecular weight PLA [13].”
• Influence of chemical surface modification of cellulose nanowhiskers on thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties of poly(lactide) based bionanocomposites (2013, background): “Among those polymers, poly(lactide) (PLA), which is a biobased and biodegradable polymer, has attracted large research interest due to its promising properties, its ease of processing and its industrial availability, as acknowledged by the increasing number of reviews and book chapters [18–21].”
