Optimization for Biodegradability of Polylactic Acid by Using Taguchi Design of Experimental Methodology

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to raise the initial hydrolysis rate of polylactic acid (PLA) during the entire decomposing process, and then enhance the decomposition rate of PLA in natural environment. This research uses Taguchi method to do the parameter design of PLA hydrolysis. And then main effect analysis is applied to find out the significant factors and the optimal hydrolysis conditions for PLA. By the results of the confirmation experiments, the optimal conditions of the PLA hydrolysis rate got by these experiments are all located on the 95% confidence interval. This indicates that these experiments are with reproducibility and reliability.
