520 3 _aThe hydrolytic degradation and the morphological behaviour of a packaging grade of poly(lactic acid)(PLA)were characterized by a series of techniques. During the initial degradation process (stage 1)at a temperature near the glass transition temperature (Tg), the molecular weight of PLA decreased as degradation time increased following a bulk erosion mechanism while the crystallinity increased simultaneously, but no observable weight loss occurred at stage 1. Mainly a-form PLA crystal structure was formed for the crystalline PLA with a low content of D stereo-isomers, but the material displayed a lower regularity, smaller domain size, lower melting temperatures Tm and different motional dynamics as compared to the original PLA with a similar level of crystallinity achieved by annealing. The amorphous PLA with a higher amount of D stereo-isomers also yielded the a crystalline phase as well as stereo-complex crystals at stage 1. When the molecular weight and the crystallinity reached a stable level, PLA started erosion into the degrading aqueous medium. During this stage of degradation (stage 2), the crystalline structure in PLA residues was further modified and both pH and temperature influenced the modification. The degradation at stage 2 was likely to follow a surface erosion mechanism with lactic acid as the major product of the weight loss. Besides the crystallinity effect on the degradation, temperature also played a key role in determining the rate of PLA degradation in both stages. The process was very slow at temperatures below the Tg of PLA but the rate was greatly enhanced at temperatures above the Tg.
