## Abstract MWNTs are modified to possess hydroxy groups and are used as coinitiators to polymerize L‐lactide by the surface‐initiated ring‐opening polymerization. FT‐IR and TEM observations reveal that the PLLA is covalently attached to the MWNTs (MWNT‐__g__‐PLLA), and the weight gain as a result
## Abstract **Summary:** Poly(D,L‐lactide) with a molar mass of 10^5^ g · mol^−1^ and a yield over 90% was produced in 10 min by the ring‐opening polymerization of D,L‐lactide under microwave irradiation with forward power of 255 W. A degradation of the poly(D,L‐lactide) was also induced by microwa
