Reversible Kinetics and Thermodynamics of the Homopolymerization of l-Lactide with 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Tin(II) Salt
Abstract
The reversible kinetics of l -lactide bulk polymerization with tin(II) ethylhexanoate was determined over a wide range of temperatures, 130−220 °C, and monomer to initiator molar ratios, 1000−80 000. Both polymerization and depolymerization are accurately described by a reversible model with a propagation term that is first order in monomer and catalyst. The activation energy of propagation is 70.9 ± 1.5 kJ mol -1 . The enthalpy, entropy, and ceiling temperature of polymerization are −23.3 ± 1.5 kJ mol -1, −22.0 ± 3.2 J mol -1 K -1, and 786 ± 87 °C, respectively. Crystallization increases the propagation rate and decreases the apparent monomer equilibrium in proportion to the degree of crystallinity. Natural hydroxyl impurities stoichiometrically control the polymer molecular weight but do not significantly affect the propagation rate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
