Synthesis and characterization of a novel biodegradable polylactide.

Synthesis and characterization of a novel biodegradable polylactide.

A novel one-pot chemical crosslinking methodology was developed for polylactide. This involves transesterification and nucleophilic acylation reactions. Three-arm and four-arm star-shaped poly(DL-Lactide) (PLA) oligomers were successfully synthesized using glycerol and pentaerythritol initiator with...
