Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was degraded to methyl lactate (Me-La) by an imino monophenolate Zn(1)2 catalyst in the presence of tetrahydrofuran, as the solvent, and methanol, as the protic source. As well as solution-based polymerization and degradation, catalyst stability was assessed and discussed. The chemical degradation of four different commercial samples of PLA, varying in molecular weight, was studied. The effect of PLA concentration...
