Abstract
From the last few decades, biodegradable composites have become best alternatives over the petro based polymer because these degrade in the simple compound in the natural environments. Among the available biodegradable polymers, polylactic acid (PLA) is more popular due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties, that can be used in the biomedical application, such as sutures, bone and ligament fixation screws etc. In this study, synthesis of PLA was performed by ring opening polymerization and Calcium phosphate/Polylactic acid (PLA) bio-composites were prepared by melt mixing technique. Tensile properties of these composites are investigated to assess its feasibility in biomedical and food packaging application.
