Stereocomplexation in PLA has resulted in widespread acceptance accounting to its unique thermal, mechanical, and physical properties. The current chapter has underlined various techniques of achieving improved stereocomplexation in PLA, such as stereoblock formation, copolymerization, and composite formation. These techniques result in the formation of intended materials with customized properties, which have been manifested in the current chapter. Further, insights have been made into the melt‐crystallizability of sc‐PLA in view of improving its industrial applications. An emphasis has also been laid on improving the biocompatibility of sc‐PLA‐based materials for potential biomedical applications. It may be recognized that the bio‐based polymers/copolymers/composites built on sc‐PLA could replace the conventional polymers in multifaceted applications and reduce the human dependence on fossil resources, as well as the carbon dioxide loading on the global sphere.
