#PolylacticAcid is a #biodegradable #plastic that can be broken down into oligomeric lactic acid (OLA) #nanoplastics. This study shows that OLA particles can accumulate in the #placenta & #fetus in pregnant mice, inducing placental vascular dysplasia & fetal growth restriction @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4bR4e6W
Co-Extrusion Carbon Fiber FDM Filament Investigated

After previously putting carbon fiber-reinforced PLA filament under the (electron) microscope, the [I built a thing] bloke is back with a new video involving PLA-CF, this time involving co-extrusio…

PLA: had to look for this is

Less durable I would guess? 😐
But compostable instead* 🙂

Nice to see less bad materials joining the market

*as per theory at least

Polylactic acid - Wikipedia

cellulose is a compostable and food safe material, if you want to make it water-proof then coat it in nitrocellulose layer

start fucking using it instead of polysterine and polylactic acid for disposable things you dumb fuck of a specie

I just passed a laboratory which has some #3DPrinters in it. There’s often something interesting to see in there but this figure of a #lion particularly caught my eye. The #mane was printed as an integral part of the whole. The technician told me that the material is a #starch-based #polymer calle #PLA or #PolylacticAcid.
