The invention discloses a method for preparing foamed polylactic acid by adopting a normal-temperature foaming technology, and relates to a preparation method of a novel polylactic acid material which is environment-friendly, degradable, light in weight, low in density, high in strength and high in flexibility and a novel polylactic acid foaming material prepared by four different formula embodiments. The preparation method comprises the following steps: placing purchased polylactic acid in a drying box to remove water for more than 24 hours; taking out the polylactic acid particles and dissolving the polylactic acid particles in a solvent according to a certain proportion; placing the solution used as a liquid environment in an evaporating dish; slowly pouring the dissolved polylactic acid solution into ethanol at room temperature; waiting for 2 minutes, taking out the sample, drying at room temperature, and testing; and recovering absolute ethyl alcohol. According to the invention, polylactic acid particles are dissolved by a solvent method, and the raw material treatment condition requirement is room-temperature ultrasonic treatment for 20 minutes. The method is characterized in that foamed polylactic acid is prepared by a solvent method, the operation is simple, medicines are saved, polylactic acid is used as a substrate, the overall toughness is good, the preparation process is simple, the cost is low, and the method is green, environment-friendly and easy to popularize.
