Long‐chain branched poly (lactic acid) (LCB‐PLA) with antimicrobial functional group was fabricated through a two‐step ring‐opening reactive processing for improving antimicrobial properties and broadening the PLA processing window. A combination of linear viscoelasticity and the branch‐on‐branch (BOB) model predicted probable compositions and chain topologies of the products. It is also explored the antimicrobial properties of LCB‐PLA to provide a theoretical basis for broadening the possible applications.
