COMPOSITIONS OF GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER SUITABLE AS CHAIN EXTENDER FOR POLY(LACTIC ACID)

摘要

Ranges of glycidyl methacrylate containing acrylic resin monomer compositions and polymer properties which are suitable to be used in chain extension processes for Poly(lactic acid) or Polylactide (PLA). The selection of monomer compositions and molecular weight ranges of the acrylic chain extender resins, and the examples of chain extension reaction between the acrylic chain extender and PLA are also provided.
