  • POLYLACTIDE-PEROXIDE MASTERBATCHES AND BRANCHING PROCESS
    Publication number: 20250368787
    Abstract: Solidified polylactide-peroxide masterbatches contain at least 50% of a linear amorphous grade polylactide resin and 1 to 30 parts, per 100 parts by weight of the polylactide, of a peroxide having a half-life of at least 50 seconds at 180° C. The masterbatches are made by combining the polylactide resin and peroxide at a temperature of 80 to 170° C. and then cooling the resulting mixture. The masterbatch is useful for preparing branched and/or crosslinked polylactides.
