    Abstract: A polymer composition contains polylactic acid and a dilactide/ε-caprolactone copolymer, in which a content of the polylactic acid relative to a total of 100 mass % of the polylactic acid and the dilactide/ε-caprolactone copolymer is 20 to 40 mass %, and in which the dilactide/ε-caprolactone copolymer satisfies (1) an R value represented by a following formula is 0.45 or more and 0.99 or less: R = [ AB ] ⁢ / ⁢ ( 2 ⁡ [ A ] ⁡ [ B ] ) × 100 where [A] is a molar fraction (%) of a dilactide residue in the dilactide/ε-caprolactone copolymer, [B] is a molar fraction (%) of an ε-caprolactone residue in the dilactide/ε-caprolactone copolymer, and [AB] is a molar fraction (%) of a structure in which a dilactide residue and an ε-caprolactone residue are adjacent to each other (A-B and B-A) in the dilactide/ε-caprolactone copolymer, and (2) at least one of the dilactide residue and the ε-caprolactone residue has a degree of crystallization of less than 14%.

    Abstract: Compositions of high molecular weight poly(hydroxy acid) polymer having good thermal stability and a weight average molecular weight of >100,000 by GPC. The compositions include one or more chain-terminator compounds/impurities which may be incorporated into the polymer and rendered harmless by the presence of appropriate amounts of bi-functional and multi-functional polymerization initiators. A process including first mixing glycolic acid and/or lactic acid (with chain-terminators), and a diol or di-acid initiator, and at least one multifunctional initiator to form a liquid monomer mixture in an agitated polycondensation reactor. Next, polycondensing to form a liquid reaction mixture comprising a pre-polymer having a weight average molecular weight of >10,000 by GPC, and greater than 80% by mole hydroxyl or carboxyl end-group termination, then crystallizing to form a first solid reaction mixture. Then, solid state polycondensing the solid reaction mixture to form a solid reaction mixture having a moisture level less than 50 ppm by weight. Then, mixing the solid reaction mixture with an appropriate reactive coupling agent in a melting and mixing extruder to couple and form the reaction mixture and form the final poly(hydroxy acid) polymer.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes polymers and improved resin systems having flexibility, low water uptake, good adhesion, chemical resistance, and/or weatherability at extreme negative temperatures, such as temperatures down to about −40° C. or below and even temperatures down to about −60° C. The systems herein, in approaches, include a polymer or resin system for an epoxy component of an epoxy/amine system including an epoxy and/or acetoacetoxy functionalized flexible block copolymer that has a base hydrophobic polyol block or core, optional flexible monomeric blocks, and epoxy, acetoacetoxy, or both functional endcaps.
