Poly(d,l-lactide-co-p-dioxanone) (P(LA-co-PDO)) copolymers with different chain microstructures were synthesized by onestep or two-step bulk ring-opening polymerizations of d,l-lactide (LA) and p-dioxanone (...Poly(d,l-lactide-co-p-dioxanone) (P(LA-co-PDO)) copolymers with different chain microstructures were synthesized by onestep or two-step bulk ring-opening polymerizations of d,l-lactide (LA) and p-dioxanone (PDO) monomers using stannous octoate [Sn(Oct)2]/n-dodecanol as the initiating system. The average sequence lengths of the lactidyl (LLA) and dioxanyl (LpDo) units were calculated from the ^1H NMR spectra. It was found that both LLA and Lpoo values from the two-step syntheses were significantly longer than those from the corresponding one-step syntheses, indicating more blocky structure achieved for the twostep copolymers. Corresponding to this difference in microstructure, the two-step copolymers were semi-crystalline, while the one-step copolymers were completely amorphous. In conclusion, the crystallinity of P(LA-co-PDO) copolymers could be adjusted conveniently to meet specific applications by changing the microstructure of the copolymers via different polymerization routes.展开更多

The PEG analogue is a copolymer synthesized by ring-opening alternating copolymerization of succinic anhydride with 2-((2-(2-metho xyethoxy)ethoxy)methyl)oxirane. The structure of the copolymer was confirmed by ^1H NMR spectrum. The effects of the monomer feed ratio on the copolymerization were studied and the polymerization mechanism was given. The PEG analogue disclosed is water-soluble and expected to have promising applications in biomedical fields as a substitute of PEG due to the existence of degradable ester bond in the backbone.展开更多
