Large molecular weight decrease after PLA mechanical recycling
Fenómeno do problema
After mechanical recycling, the intrinsic viscosity of PLA decreases by >20%.
Análise das causas
The combination of thermal and mechanical degradation causes molecular chain breakage and a large decrease in molecular weight.
Solução
Reduce the recycling processing temperature; add a chain extender to restore the molecular weight.
Conclusão principal
The molecular weight decay of PLA recycling is a reuse challenge.
