Modeling and Simulation of Poly(L-Lactide) Polymerization in Batch Reactor

Poly(lactic acid) or Poly(Lactide) (PLA) has been extensively used both in food packaging and in biomedical applications. In fact this material is a thermoplastic polyester, which is compostable and so it can be used as an alternative to PET for food applications. Moreover it is a biocompatible and...
