Comparison of Wet and Dry Measurement of PLA (Polylactic Acid) Powder by Laser Diffraction

Particle Characterization

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer derived from lactic acid. It is a highly versatile material and is made from 100% renewable resources like corn, sugar beets, wheat and other starch-rich products. Polylactic acid exhibits many properties that are equivalent to or better than many petroleum-based plastics, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications. Properties include the ability to accept coatings, inks and adhesives, and being an effective flavor and aroma barrier.

Comparison of Wet and Dry Measurement of PLA (Polylactic Acid) Powder by Laser Diffraction

PLA is produced as a powder and then melted to form thin plastic-like films and other disposable plastic-like items. Several companies have started mass-production facilities. There is also a significant amount of research underway to investigate further improvements in efficiency, broadening the range of applications by using copolymers.
