PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THERMOPLASTIC RESIN MOLDING

摘要

A polyglycolic acid resin is used as a forming aid to efficiently produce various shapes, such as porous film, ultrafine fiber, ultrafine film and porous hollow fiber, of shaped products of substantially water-insoluble thermoplastic resins. More specifically, a shaped composite of the polyglycolic acid resin and the substantially water-insoluble thermoplastic resin is caused to contact an aqueous medium, thereby selectively removing the polyglycolic acid resin through solvolysis and extraction to leave a shaped product of the remaining thermoplastic resin. A glycolic acid aqueous produced by the solvolysis and extraction can be recycled into the polyglycolic acid resin as a forming aid via the formation of a concentrated glycolic acid oligomer and glycolide.
