Polylactic acid is a promising future polymer. Biodegradable polymers are a topical issue in society, which is why this topic, the nonwoven polylactic textiles, was created. The aim of this work is to present the synthesis of lactic acid and polylactic acid. Furthermore, the production of nonwoven fabrics and finally the production of nonwoven fabrics from polylactic acid. The practical part is focused on characterization of elongation viscosity of polylactic acid in dependence on additions of plasticizer. Based on the knowledge of elongation viscosity, we want to determine which material is suitable for spinning.
