Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biomass-based, eco-friendly, and biodegradable aliphatic polyester. Compared to aromatic polyesters, PLA is not suitable for applications that require high strength and heat resistance. In this study, the extrusion parameters of the melt-spinning process of PLA, namely, th...
