The review summarizes current trends and developments in the polymerization of alkylene
oxides in the last two decades since 1995, with a particular focus on the most important …

Polyesters synthesized through the alternating copolymerization of epoxides and cyclic
anhydrides compose a growing class of polymers that exhibit an impressive array of …

Controlled routes to prepare polyesters and polycarbonates are of interest due to the
widespread application of these materials and the opportunities provided to prepare new …

A dream comes true: tailor-made polyethercarbonate polyols are synthesised from
propylene oxide and CO2. Molecular weight and functionality of these polyethercarbonate …

The copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides presents a transformative approach to
