TL;DR: A critical review on the production of poly(lactic acid) fiber by various methods, along with correlations between structure and properties of the fibers is presented in this paper, where applications of these fibers in various domains are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the draw ratio had significant influence on the crystallinity and the tensile strength of poly(lactic acid) fiber, which was subsequently made into high strength fiber by two-step process of drawing at 90°C and subsequent heat setting in the temperature range of 120°C.

TL;DR: In this article, a dry-jet-wet spinning process was employed to spin poly(lactic acid)(PLA) fiber by the phase inversion technique using chloroform and methanol as solvent and nonsolvent, respectively, for PLA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wide range of monomers are available for grafting reaction, and the graft polymerization offers an attractive way to introduce specific properties in polymers, such as films and fibers, by careful selection of the monomer, but the monomers need to be functionalized in subsequent step to introduce functional groups.

TL;DR: In this paper, polypropylene-g-polyacrylonitrile sutures with various graft levels were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Density, Birefriengence, X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
