POLYLACTIC ACID-BASED RESIN, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYLACTIC ACID-BASED RESIN, POLYLACTIC ACID RESIN COMPOSITION, STEREOCOMPLEX POLYLACTIC ACID RESIN COMPOSITION AND PROCESS 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.)
