Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this work is to control the molecular weight of cyclic polyesters via shear induced transesterification. It is expected that ring expansion or ring division will be occurred by transesterification of cyclic polyesters. We investigated the applicability of cyclic polyester with controlled molecular weight obtained in this process as a crystallization nucleating agent for homogeneous linear polyester. Detailed examinations are as follows: (1) Synthesis and characterization of cyclic poly(L-lactide) and determination of initial molecular weight, (2) Measurement of molecular weight and distribution of the sample after shear induced transesterification reaction, (3) Availability test of cyclic polyester controlled in molecular weight as a nucleating agent for linear analogues.
