Abstract

The research involves synthesis of polylactic acid using an available and low cost catalyst (Zn) using microwave irradiation, the synthesized polymer was characterized using FTIR, H1NMR while the molecular weight was calculated using Mark-Hauwink equation, the molecular weight was 12.388 with high purity. This method consumed time compared with traditional methods.
