Microwave energy assisted synthesis of poly lactic acid via continuous reactive extrusion: modelling of reaction kinetics

Dubey, Satya P.; Abhyankar, Hrushikesh; Marchante, Veronica; Brighton, James L.; Bergmann, Björn; Trinh, Giang; David, Chantal (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-03-27)

The most commonly used batch process to manufacture PLA is ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide monomer in a suitable solvent, in the presence of a metallic/bimetallic catalyst (Sn, Zn, and Al) or other organic ...
Modelling and validation of synthesis of poly lactic acid using an alternative energy source through a continuous reactive extrusion process

Dubey, Satya P.; Abhyankar, Hrushikesh; Marchante, Veronica; Brighton, James L.; Blackburn, Kim; Temple, Clive; Bergmann, Björn; Trinh, Giang; David, Chantal (MDPI, 2016-04-22)

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 ...
