2. Description of the Related Art Polylactic acid has been attracting attention as a completely circulating biodegradable polymer which is decomposed by microorganisms and finally becomes carbon dioxide gas and water in a natural environment. Since polylactic acid has a high melting point and high crystallinity, it is expected to be promising as a fiber for clothing and industrial use. However, conventionally, only very limited applications such as surgical threads (sutures) utilizing biocompatibility have been known. The reason for this is that, in addition to the difficulty in establishing the technology for making polylactic acid into a practical clothing and industrial fiber, the development of commercialization technology for fiber products, especially tea bags, was delayed.
