High molecular weight PLA was successfully synthesized by chain extension reaction of hydroxylated prepolymer using succinic anhydride as a chain extender. Hydroxylated prepolymer was prepared by direct condensation polymerization of L-lactic acid in the presence of 1,4-butanediol. Various molar ratios between hydroxylated prepolymer and succinic anhydride (i.e, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3) were investigated. The results showed that succinic anhydride can help increasing molecular weight of hydroxylated prepolymer approximately up to 47% as characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) technique. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) was used to investigate structure of chain-extended PLA. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to examine thermal properties while the crystallinity was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The contents of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) prepared by direct condensation polymerization without using a catalyst were studied. 1H NMR and mass spectrometry analyses suggested that PLLA contained cyclic oligo(L-lactic acid) (c-OLLA) with 3–20 repeat units. Notably, only c-OLLA was extracted and isolated using hexane or cyclohexane at 4°C; thus the hydrophobicity, topology, and temperature dependence of the solubility of the obtained PLLA enabled the selective extraction of c-OLLA. The effect of cyclic compounds on direct polycondensation and the potential for c-OLLA to form molecular inclusion complexes were also discussed.

Biodegradable polyurethane was synthesized using poly(DL-lactic acid) diol and hydroxytelechelic natural rubber as hydroxyl containing precursor, 1,4-butane diol as chain extender, isophorone diisocyanate and dibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst. Poly(DL-lactic acid) diol was prepared by condensation polymerization of DL-lactic acid using 1,4-butane diol as initiator and stannous octoate as catalyst. Hydroxyltelechelic natural rubber synthesized via oxidative degradation of natural rubber and then reduced carbonyl end group to hydroxyl group. Chemical structure of products was characterized by 1H-NMR. Molecular weight and polydispersity determined by SEC. Thermal properties was characterized by DSC and TGA. Segmented polyurethane show two Tgs and two degradation steps corresponding to natural rubber and poly(DL-lactic acid) segment. Polyurethane containing poly(lactic acid) more than 40%mol are become brittle. This result caused by brittle characteristic of PLA. Moreover, mechanical properties increased as content of PLA increased.
