Function:
L-Lactide is an important cyclic ester compound, and its main function is to serve as a monomer in polymerization reactions. It can undergo a ring-opening polymerization reaction under the action of an initiator (such as stannous octoate) to generate polylactic acid (PLA).
Application:
Polylactic acid (made from the polymerization of L-lactide) has good biocompatibility and can be used to make scaffold materials in tissue engineering.
Polylactic acid is a biodegradable plastic. Polylactic acid material synthesized from L-lactide can be used to manufacture various packaging materials.
