PLA, a polyester-based synthetic polymer, decomposes in our body fluid and separates into its constituent acids and alcohol. This acid in the body can cause inflammation. What would you recommend to overcome this disadvantage? b) The late decomposition of PLA, which is a biodegradable and hydrophobic polymer, in body fluid may create a disadvantage in applications where faster degradation is desired. What would you suggest to do to resolve this situation? Please explain.
