Structural Characterization of Serial Novel Star-Shaped Biodegradable Material Poly(lactic acid-<i>co</i>-melamine)

Abstract

Using flame retardant melamine (MA) as a new aromatic core, biodegradable material poly (lactic acid-co-melamine) [P(LA-co-MA)] with different molar feed ratios are synthesized via direct melt copolycondensation. The structures of P(LA-co-MA) s are characterized by FT-IR,1H-NMR,13C-NMR and GPC. The results indicate that MA moiety as the core is incorporated into the PLA backbone as expected, and the obtained products are copolymers indeed.
