The properties and structures of the products were characterized by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR). It was found that PLLA can be prepared by direct synthesis using melt polycondensation. Moreover, the number-average molecular weight (\overline{Mn}) and compositions of each polymer was determined by ¹H-NMR spectra. In the meantime, the ¹H-NMR spectra was also used for racemization analysis..}, issn = {2617-8699}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3993/jfbi092009}, url = {http://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jfbi/4996.html} }
