Abstract
A novel and simple mathematical model to get the polymerization rate constants for the ring-opening polymerization of poly(lactic acid) is described. The model permits evaluation of the degree of polymerization versus monomer-to-initiator ratio curves. The predicted results are compared with the reported experimental data. The value of rate constants for initiation, propagation, and different modes of termination, are also obtained.
