Embodiment 1

[0114] Production of prepolymer mixtures:

[0115] Add 59.1kg of 1,6-hexanediol, 941kg of L-lactide, and 6.8kg of stannous octoate into a 1500L stainless steel reactor to carry out ring-opening polymerization. The ring-opening polymerization was stirred and reacted at 180° C. for 45 minutes to obtain a prepolymer mixture A containing a polylactic acid prepolymer. When the monomer is converted at 100%, the theoretical number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid prepolymer is 2000. In the reaction system, the conversion rate is 97.1%, and the calculated content of L-lactide monomer in the prepolymer mixture A is 2.7wt%; the number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid prepolymer obtained in the prepolymer mixture A is 1945, The viscosity at 180° C. was 55 cp, and the Sn content was 0.2% (2000 ppm).

[0116] In this production process, the mass ratio of 1,6-hexanediol is: 59.1kg / (59.1kg+941kg)=5.9:100. The mass ratio of stannous octoate is: 6.8kg / (59.1kg+9...
