POLYLACTIC ACID RESIN, METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYLACTIC ACID RESIN, POLYLACTIC ACID RESIN COMPOSITION, STEREOCOMPLEX POLYLACTIC ACID RESIN COMPOSITION, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING STEREOCOMPLEX POLYLACTIC ACID RESIN COMPOSITION

摘要

The invention provides a polylactic acid-based resin having a high molecular weight, high heat resistance and an amide bond in its molecular chain, a production process and a use thereof. The polylactic acid-based resin comprises a constituting unit represented by the following formula (1) and which is obtained by allowing a polyisocyanate compound to react with a mixture comprising at least a poly (L-lactic acid) in which the percentage of the terminal functional group which is a carboxyl group exceeds 50% and a poly(D-lactic acid) in which the percentage of the terminal functional group which is a carboxyl group exceeds 50%. (in the formula (1), R is a polyisocyanate residue and represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a hydrocarbon group having an alicyclic structure and 3 to 20 carbon atoms or a hydrocarbon group having an aromatic ring and 6 to 20 carbon atoms.)
