Synthesis of Polylactide and Polycarbonate Polymers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lactic acid (LA) and polylactide (PLA) were purchased from Nature Works Co. Ltd. (Blair, NE, USA), and PLA had a density of 1.24 g/cm3 and a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 2.50 × 105 g/mol. PTMC is not available commercially; therefore, the polymer was synthesized in our laboratory. The method for PTMC polymerization was based on that described in the literature [21 ]. The polymerization of the trimethylene carbonate monomer was performed by melting with a stannous octoate catalyst under a nitrogen atmosphere. The stannous octoate was added to the monomer at 0.15% (g/g), and the polymerization was conducted for approximately 5 h at 120 °C. The resulting polymer was purified by dissolving with dichloromethane, precipitating with methanol and drying under reduced pressure at 60 °C.

Fabrication of Amorphous PLA-WSNT Composite Films

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study uses polylactide (PLA) with ~ 2% D-content [56 (link),57 (link)] and Mw ~ 125 kg/mol (values in Fig. S2; gel-permeation chromatograms in Fig. S3) purchased from NatureWorks, USA (Grade 4032D). The PLA pellets were first dried under vacuum at 80 °C for 1 day and subsequently at 40 °C for an additional 4 days. The vacuum-dried polymer was then dissolved in chloroform at 60 °C for 2 hours. Separately, a suspension of WSNT (0.05 or 0.1 wt%) in chloroform was sonicated for ~ 30 mins to break up nanotube agglomerates preserving the size of the nanotubes post-sonication and centrifuge. The suspension of WSNT was then added to the polymer solution and stirred for an additional 1 hour; the resulting solution was cast into glass petri dishes, covered and allowed to dry inside a fume-hood for ~ 2 days; the as-cast films were placed in a vacuum oven and dried for ~ 4 days at 80 °C to remove residual solvent. The crystalline, as-cast films were thereafter hot-pressed by a Carver hot-press at 180 °C for 10 min to obtain ~100 µm thick, amorphous films that were maintained at 40 °C under vacuum until further use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
