Melt/solid polycondensation of l-lactic acid: an alternative route to poly(l-lactic acid) with high molecular weight
TL;DR: In this paper, a high polymer of poly( l -lactic acid)(PLLA) was successfully obtained by the melt/solid polycondensation of l-Lactic acid (LA) catalyzed by a tin chloride dihydrate/p-toluenesulfonic acid binary system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Properties of High-Molecular-Weight Poly(L-Lactic Acid) by Melt/Solid Polycondensation under Different Reaction Conditions:
TL;DR: In this article, the melt/solid polycondensation of L-lactic acid (LA) was successfully conducted using a binary catalyst system comprising tin dichloride hydrate and p-toluenesulfonic acid (TSA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial production of poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s from waste edible oils
TL;DR: In this paper, the biosynthesis of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)======(PHA) from waste edible oils and tallow by Ralstonia eutropha was investigated.
