Quantitative analyses of products from chemical recycling of polylactide (PLA) by alcoholysis with various alcohols and their applications as healable lactide-based polyurethanesBy FAME Lab / Original Research Article / Bunthoeun Nim, Pakorn Opaprakasit Highlights •A process for chemical recycling of PLA by alcoholysis is developed for circular economy. •Standard quantitative analysis techniques are developed by FTIR, 2D-NMR and 1H-NMR. •Reactivity of different alcohols toward the alcoholysis reactions is investigated. •The alcoholyzed PLA products are used as starting materials for PLA-based polyurethanes. •The PU materials exhibit excellent mechanical properties, with healing property.
