Summary: This book describes the synthesis, properties, and processing methods of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), an important family of degradable plastics. As the need for environmentally-friendly packaging materials increases, consumers and companies are in search for new materials that are largely produced from renewable resources, and are recyclable. To that end, an overall theme of the book is the biodegradability, recycling, and sustainability benefits of PLA. The chapters, from a base of international expert contributors, describe specific processing methods, spectroscopy techniques for PLA analysis, and and applications in medical items, packaging, and environmental use.Summary: POLY(LACTIC ACID): Synthesis, Structures, Properties, Processing, and Applications -- CONTENTS -- PREFACE -- CONTRIBUTORS -- PART I: CHEMISTRY AND PRODUCTION OF LACTIC ACID, LACTIDE, AND POLY(LACTIC ACID) -- 1 PRODUCTION AND PURIFICATION OF LACTIC ACID AND LACTIDE -- 1.1 INTRODUCTION -- 1.2 LACTIC ACID -- 1.2.1 History of Lactic Acid -- 1.2.2 Physical Properties of Lactic Acid -- 1.2.3 Chemistry of Lactic Acid -- 1.2.4 Production of Lactic Acid by Fermentation -- 1.2.5 Downstream Processing/Purification of Lactic Acid -- 1.2.6 Quality/Specifications of Lactic Acid -- 1.3 LACTIDE -- 1.3.1 Physical Properties of Lactide -- 1.3.2 Production of Lactide -- 1.3.3 Purification of Lactide -- 1.3.4 Quality and Specifications of Polymer-Grade Lactide -- 1.3.5 Concluding Remarks on Polymer-Grade Lactide -- REFERENCES -- 2 CHEMISTRY AND THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF LACTIC ACID AND LACTIDE AND SOLVENT MISCIBILITY -- 2.1 GENERAL PROPERTIES -- 2.1.1 Physical and Chemical Properties of Lactic Acid -- 2.1.2 Physical and Chemical Properties of Lactide -- 2.2 THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES -- 2.2.1 Vapor Pressures of Lactic Acids at Different Temperatures -- 2.2.2 Temperature Dependence of Densities of Lactic Acid -- 2.2.3 Temperature Dependence of Viscosity of Lactic Acid -- 2.2.4 Thermodynamic Properties -- 2.3 MISCIBILITY PROPERTIES OF LACTIC ACID AND LACTIDE -- 2.3.1 Miscibility of Lactic Acid with Different Solvents -- 2.3.2 Miscibility of Lactic Acid with Modifiers in Diluents -- 2.3.3 Physical andChemical Equilibrium of Lactic Acid -- 2.3.4 Miscibility of Lactide with Solvents -- REFERENCES -- 3 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLY(LACTIC ACID) -- 3.1 INTRODUCTION -- 3.2 LACTIC ACID BASED POLYMERS BY POLYCONDENSATION -- 3.2.1 Direct Condensation -- 3.2.2 Solid-State Polycondensation -- 3.2.3 Azeotropic Dehydration.PPN: PPN: 809244810Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PQE | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
