Abstract

A polylactic acid has a terminal-modified structure represented by the following formula (1): wherein in the formula (1), R represents a residue of an organic phosphorus compound containing an epoxy group, and n represents an integer from 100 to 5000.

Claims (20)

1. A polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure represented by the following formula (1):

where in the formula (1),

R represents a residue of an organic phosphorus compound containing an epoxy group, and

n represents an integer from 100 to 5000;

wherein the polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure is a reaction product of a terminal-unmodified polylactic acid and the organic phosphorus compound, an amount of the organic phosphorus compound being 0.2 to 5 parts by weight with respect to the terminal-unmodified polylactic acid.

2. The polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure according to claim 1 , wherein the organic phosphorus compound is selected from a phosphonate compound, a phosphinate compound, a phosphine oxide compound, and a phosphite compound.

3. The polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure according to claim 1 , wherein a terminal modification rate of the polylactic acid is 50% or more.

4. The polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure according to claim 1 , wherein a terminal modification rate of the polylactic acid is 80% or more.

5. The polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure according to claim 1 , wherein n is from 500 to 3000.

6. The polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure according to claim 1 , wherein the organic phosphorus compound has an aromatic ring structure.

7. The polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure according to claim 2 , wherein the organic phosphorus compound is selected from the following formulae:

8. A resin composition having the polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure of claim 1 .

9. The resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein the organic phosphorus compound is selected from a phosphonate compound, a phosphinate compound, a phosphine oxide compound, and a phosphite compound.

10. The resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein a terminal modification rate of the polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure is 50% or more.

11. The resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein the organic phosphorus compound has an aromatic ring structure.

12. A resin molded product having the polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure of claim 1 .

13. The resin molded product according to claim 12 , wherein the organic phosphorus compound is selected from a phosphonate compound, a phosphinate compound, a phosphine oxide compound, and a phosphite compound.

14. The resin molded product according to claim 12 , wherein a terminal modification rate of the polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure is 50% or more.

15. The resin molded product according to claim 12 , wherein the organic phosphorus compound has an aromatic ring structure.

16. A resin composition comprising a polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure, and an organic phosphorus compound containing an epoxy group, wherein the polylactic acid having a terminal-modified structure is a reaction product of a terminal-unmodified polylactic acid and the organic phosphorus compound, an amount of the organic phosphorus compound being 0.2 to 5 parts by weight with respect to the terminal-unmodified polylactic acid.
