Abstract
In order to evaluate the bio-degradation performance of different kinds of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) rapidly, a new method, called hydro-thermal degradation was developed. Four kinds of commercial grade PLA were analyzed by both bio-degradation and hydro-thermal degradation with their degradation performance investigated via weight loss (%), infrared spectra (IR), size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), and X‑ray diffraction measurements (XRD). The experimental results showed that the bio-degradation performance, which would take several years to degrade totally, could degrade in a short time (2 h) at 170°C by the hydro-thermal degradation. The order of the degradation rate is Revode101 > Revode210 > Revode190 > Revode290, corresponding with the structure characteristics of them. Thus, this new method provides a simple and effective way to degrade the PLA rapidly and to evaluate its bio-degradation performance.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
