OLIGOMERIZATION OF POLY(L-LACTIC ACID) BY HIGH-PRESSURE STEAM TREATMENT FOR FEEDSTOCK RECYCLING
High-pressure steam hydrolysis of a poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) / poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) (50:50 wt/wt) immiscible blend was investigated as a pre-treatment process before feedstock recycling of the PLLA component, resulting in the selective oligomerization of the PLLA component. After the pre-treatment by steam, the PLLA component was preferentially hydrolyzed in a manner of autocatalytic random degradation, whereas the PC component showed no change in molecular weight. This characteristic hydrolysis behavior of the blend will facilitate the crushing of moldings and subsequent feedstock recycling of PLLA.
