摘要:
The invention provides a polyester production process by bulk polymerization in a reactor, wherein the volume of the resulting polyester is shrunk for a release from the inner surface of the reactor, so that the polyester can be recovered in the form of a bulky mass. The invention also provides a reactor for bulk polymerization for polyester, which comprises an inner surface that enabling the resulting polyester to be released therefrom upon its volume shrinkage.

A polyglycolic acid-based resin composition is formed by adding a relatively small amount of aromatic polyester resin to a polyglycolic acid resin. The thus-formed composition is provided with remarkably improved moisture resistance stability and hot-melt processability, and further improved stretchability, while retaining the excellent properties as represented by gas barrier property of the polyglycolic acid resin. As a result of stretching by utilizing the improved stretchability, a shaped product having an improved transparency can be obtained.
摘要:
In the production of an aliphatic polyester by ring-opening polymerization of a cyclic ester, at least a latter period of polymerization is proceeded with by way of solid-phase polymerization, and the resultant aliphatic polyester is subjected to removal of residual cyclic ester. As a result, an aliphatic polyester with a minimized content of residual monomer is obtained.

Polyhydroxycarhoxylic acids are provided, which are controlled in terms of the rate of biodegradability, and give molded or otherwise formed articles that are of uniform quality with neither premature strength drop nor premature deterioration of retention of outside shape, and their production process is provided as well. The poly-hydroxycarboxylic acids are obtained by ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters. The polyhydroxy-carboxylic acids have a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) in the range of 10,000 to 1,000,000, a molecular weight distribution in the range of 1.0 to 2.5 as represented by the weight-average molecular weight-to-number-average molecular weight ratio (Mw/Mn) and a yellowness index (YI) of 40 or less, and have a precisely controlled rate of biodegradability.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for production of a cyclic ester by depolymerization of an aliphatic polyester. In the process, a mixture containing the aliphatic polyester and a specific polyalkylene glycol ether, which has a boiling point of 230-450° C. and a molecular weight of 150-450, is heated under normal or reduced pressure to a temperature at which depolymerization of the aliphatic polyester takes place. Then, a substantially homogeneous solution phase, consisting of the melt phase of the aliphatic polyester and the liquid phase of the polyalkylene glycol ether, is formed. Heating of the solution phase is continued to form the cyclic ester by depolymerization and distil out the cyclic ester together with the polyalkylene glycol ether, and then the cyclic ester is recovered from the distillate. The present invention also provides a process for purification of a crude cyclic ester by use of the specific polyalkylene glycol ether described above.
摘要:
A shaped container of biodegradable, heat-resistant and rigid resin having a laminate structure including a glycolic acid polymer layer and another biodegradable resin layer, is formed by shaping under heating so that another biodegradable resin forms an outer and/or inner layer. The container is excellent in biodegradability, stiffness and heat resistance as well as excellent see-through of contents, and is suitable as a temporary preservation container for food, etc.
摘要:
A polyglycolic acid resin is used as a forming aid to efficiently produce various shapes, such as porous film, ultrafine fiber, ultrafine film and porous hollow fiber, of shaped products of substantially water-insoluble thermoplastic resins. More specifically, a shaped composite of the polyglycolic acid resin and the substantially water-insoluble thermoplastic resin is caused to contact an aqueous medium, thereby selectively removing the polyglycolic acid resin through solvolysis and extraction to leave a shaped product of the remaining thermoplastic resin. A glycolic acid aqueous produced by the solvolysis and extraction can be recycled into the polyglycolic acid resin as a forming aid via the formation of a concentrated glycolic acid oligomer and glycolide.
摘要:
A polyglycolic acid resin-based multilayer sheet is formed by laminating a biological polymer substrate sheet and a polyglycolic acid resin with each other via an aqueous adhesive layer. The multilayer sheet is formed of biodegradable materials as a whole and allows recovery of paper, etc. alone, as desired, by preferential decomposition of the resin, thus being suitable as a packaging material stock for food container, etc.
