In recent years there has been an increase in interest in biodegradable polymers. Biopolymers are upcoming competitors for the synthetic polymers with their profound attributes like eco-friendliness and biodegradability. They can be classified as natural biopolymers, chemically synthesized biopolymers, and microbial biopolymers. One of the most widely used chemically synthesized biopolymers is aliphatic polyester polylactic acid (PLA). It is a thermoplastic derived from renewable, organic sources such as corn star...
