Abstract

Biodegradable materials have been actively studied in applications of food packaging, agricultural film, and biomedical materials. As one of the most important biodegradable materials, polylactide (PLA) has attracted great attention due to its excellent biodegradable property. Despite favorable performance, PLA has some drawbacks to limit its applications. Various modifications have been applied to improve on the overall properties of PLA. In this paper, a summary on literature review of chemical modifications of PLA-based materials is addressed.
