Comprehensive investigations on their stereoselective and kinetic features in the ring opening polymerization of lactide were carried out. The ring opening polymerization proved to be first-order in the catalyst and the monomer. Linear relationships between the numberaverage molecular weight of the polylactide and the monomer conversion were consistent with a well-controlled polymerization. The propagation rate was strongly affected by morpholinomethyl substituents on the salicylaldehyde moiety.展开更多
The bulk ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) by various phosphoric acids using phenylmethanol as the initiator was conducted. 1, 1'-bi-2-Naphthol (BINOL)-based phosphoric acid was found...The bulk ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) by various phosphoric acids using phenylmethanol as the initiator was conducted. 1, 1'-bi-2-Naphthol (BINOL)-based phosphoric acid was found to be an effective organocatalyst for ROP leading to polyesters at 90℃. The overall conversion to poly(ε-caprolactone) was more than 96% and poly(ε-caprolactone) with Mw of 8400 and polydispersity index of 1.13 was obtained. IH NMR spectra of oligomers demonstrated the quantitative incorporation of the protic initiator in the polymer chains and showed that transesterification reactions did not occur to a significant extent. The controlled polymerization was indicated by the linear relationships between the number-average molar mass and monomer conversion or monomer-to-initiator ratio. In addition, the present protocol provided an easy-to-handle, inexpensive and environmentally benign entry for the synthesis of biodegradable materials as well as polyesters for biomedical applications.展开更多
