Abstract

Multiblock copolymer was synthesized by the copolycondensation of oligo(L-lactic acid) prepared by thermal dehydration of L-lactic acid, Pluronic$\^$TM/(PN) and dodecanedioic acid as carboxyl/hydroxyl adjusting agent. This polycondensation proceeded by catalysis of stannous oxide to give the multiblock copolymers with high molecular weight and wide range of compositions. Polymer film was prepared by casting the chloroform solution of the multiblock copolymers having different composition. The multiblock copolymers having relatively high contents of poly(L-lactide) were melt spun into filaments which were subsequently drawn at 60$^{\circ}C$. The copolymer films and the filaments showed an improved flexibility due to the incorporation of the soft segments.
