Switchable catalysis is a powerful tool in the polymer chemist's toolbox as it allows on
demand access to a variety of polymer architectures. Switchable catalysts operate by the …

In the quest for sustainable development, degradable polymers are attractive alternatives to
traditional fossil-based plastics. As monocomponent degradable polymers often suffer from …

The increasing accumulation of plastic waste has brought serious environmental issues.
Biodegradable plastics are promising candidates to solve the problem but still remain a …

Poly (ester-alt-ethers) can combine beneficial ether linkage flexibility and polarity with ester
linkage hydrolysability, furnishing fully degradable polymers. Despite their promising …

The use of external stimuli to trigger and/or control polymer synthesis has become a
prominent research theme over the last 20 years. With the need for more sustainable …

Heteronuclear complexes are highly active catalysts in alternating ring opening
copolymerizations (ROCOP) of cyclohexene oxide (CHO)/carbon dioxide or CHO/phthalic …

Poly (ester-alt-ethers) are interesting as they combine the ester linkage rigidity and potential
for hydrolysis with ether linkage flexibility. This work describes a generally applicable route …

Boron-functionalized polymers are used in opto-electronics, biology, and medicine. Methods
to produce boron-functionalized and degradable polyesters remain exceedingly rare but …

Producing aromatic poly (ester–ether) s from completely renewable feedstocks is almost
inaccessible via existing ring-opening polymerization or melt polycondensation methods …

Seven constrained aluminum inden complexes having different substituents and diamine
backbones were developed for the ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of epoxides …
