Abstract Experimental data for the phase behavior of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) in mixtures of dichloromethane and carbon dioxide over a range of external conditions are presented. Cloud point pressures were measured using a variable-volume view cell as functions of temperature, dichloromethane-to-carbon dioxide ratio, and concentration of PLA. A high-molecular-weight (M-w 189 000) PLA was used in all studies and at mass fractions of 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03. For adequate control of the carbon dioxide-to-dichloromethane ratio, a new experimental procedure was employed that allows for good control of the composition. To ascertain the validity of the new experimental procedure, the binary system of carbon dioxide + dichloromethane was studied, and its results were compared to literature values.
