Modelling and validation of synthesis of poly lactic acid using an alternative energy source through a continuous reactive extrusion process [PDF]
PLA is one of the most promising bio-compostable and bio-degradable thermoplastic polymers made from renewable sources. PLA is generally produced by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide using the metallic/bimetallic catalyst (Sn, Zn, and Al) or ...

Block copolymers of poly(L-lactide) and poly(ε-caprolactone) or poly(ethylene glycol) prepared by reactive extrusion [PDF]
Blends of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared in a co-rotating twin screw miniextruder (40 rpm, 200°). It was attempted to prepare multiblock copolymers by allowing a controlled number of transesterification reactions ...
