  • Patent number: 9845377
    Abstract: A method for preparing high molecular weight poly(L-lactic acid) with high performance, including: a) providing a biogenic guanidine (BG) as a catalyst, and a nontoxic acid salt of an essential metal trace element as an activator (Act), and adding the catalyst, the activator, and L-lactide monomer to a polymerization reactor; b) evacuating under vacuum and charging the polymerization reactor with nitrogen for three consecutive times to remove air, and allowing the L-lactide monomer to undergo bulk polymerization under vacuum. The bulk polymerization includes a first reaction stage and a second reaction stage, which are separately carried out at different temperatures, pressures, and reaction times.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9062006
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high molecular weight polylactic acid synthesized by using a method for synthesizing and catalytically-polycondensing bionic creatinine-guanidinium chloride. Creatinine is used as the material in a reaction with aqueous hydrochloric acid to synthesize a bionic creatinine-guanidinium salt catalyst, creatinine-guanidinium chloride (CR.Cl). The creatinine-guanidinium chloride synthesized is used as a catalyst, an industrial grade lactic acid (LA, 85% to 90%, aqueous solution) is used as a monomer, a solvent-free two-step polycondensation method is used to synthesize and afford metal-free and toxic residue-free polylactic acid featuring high biological safety and high molecular weight.
