L-ラクチド334.8g(2.325mol)とε-カプロラクトン257.4g(2.325mol)、2-エチルヘキサン酸スズ300ppmおよびジペンタエリスリトール500ppmをセパラブルフラスコに入れ、減圧乾燥した後窒素雰囲気下において130℃で7日間重合した。得られた乳酸-ε-カプロラクトン共重合体(以下DPE-500と記載)をメッシュサイズ3mmの回転式粉砕機にて粉砕し、その後、前記合成例1と同様に酢酸/イソプロパノール混合溶媒を用いた洗浄処理に供して、分岐状ポリマーDPE-500を得た。
L-ラクチド334.8g(2.325mol)とε-カプロラクトン257.4g(2.325mol)、2-エチルヘキサン酸スズ300ppmをセパラブルフラスコに入れ、減圧乾燥した後窒素雰囲気下において130℃、7日間重合した。得られた乳酸-ε-カプロラクトン共重合体(以下PLCLと記載)をメッシュサイズ3mmの回転式粉砕機にて粉砕し、その後、前記合成例1と同様に酢酸/イソプロパノール混合溶媒を用いて洗浄処理に供して、直鎖状ポリマーPLCLを得た。
合成例1、合成例2及び比較合成例1で得られたポリマーを用いて、4重量%の割合で各ポリマーを含有する1,4-ジオキサン溶液を調製した。各溶液を水平台の上にキャストし、20℃にて24時間ドラフト内で風乾した。最終的に厚み100μm程度のキャストフィルムを得た。
上記で得られたキャストフィルムを80mm×10mmの短冊状に切断し、初期弾性率を測定してキャストフィルムの柔軟性を評価した。柔軟性については0.5N~1.5Nの間の初期弾性率により評価した。また、同じキャストフィルムについて最大点応力を測定し、強度を評価した。なお、初期弾性率が低く、最大点応力が大きい材料ほど、柔軟で破断しにくいことを指す。引張強度は、万能引張試験機(島津製作所 EZ-Graph)を用いて、チャック間距離15mm、引張速度10mm/minの条件で測定した。結果を下表1に示す。
合成例1、2又は比較合成例1で合成されたポリマーを用いて調製されたキャストフィルムを80mm×10mmの短冊状に切断し、37℃のPBS(-)(pH7.4)に1、2、4又は8週間浸漬した。所定期間経過後、GPCにて重量平均分子量を測定し、初期の重量平均分子量に対して、浸漬後のポリマーの重量平均分子量の低下した割合をポリマー分子量の低下率(%)として算出し、加水分解性を評価した。結果を下表2に示す。
