Heavy metals based catalysts and time taking conduction heating mode is a challenge in poly(l-) lactide (PLLA) synthesis. In this study PLLA has been synthesised under simultaneous cooling and microwave heating using biocatalyst. Effect of immobilised lipase concentrations, polymerisation times and...
