Results of the molar masses obtained by GPC of the polymers synthesized from D,L-lactic acid, where Mn is the average molar mass, Mw is the average molar mass, and Mw/Mn is the molar mass distribution index.
| Sample | Mn (Da) | Mw (Da) | Mw/Mn |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-polymer | 2278 | 2705 | 1.2 |
| PLA (without catalyst) | 5830 | 7049 | 1.2 |
| PLA 1x | 6930 | 8702 | 1.2 |
| PLA 2x | 6835 | 9111 | 1.3 |
| PLA 3x | 6937 | 9634 | 1.4 |
