Journal ArticleDOI
Stereocontrolled ring-opening polymerisation of lactide
TL;DR: The application of metal-based catalysts dominates this area although simple anionic polymerisation and organocatalytic routes that demonstrate control of the polymer tacticity are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guanidine and Amidine Organocatalysts for Ring-Opening Polymerization of Cyclic Esters
Bas G. G. Lohmeijer,Russell C. Pratt,Frank A. Leibfarth,John W. Logan,David A. Long,Andrew P. Dove,Fredrik Nederberg,Jeongsoo Choi,Charles G. Wade,Robert M. Waymouth,James L. Hedrick +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters such as lactide (LA), δ-valerolactone (VL), and e-caprolactone(CL) was achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic Catalysis for Ring-Opening Polymerization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the key advances in organocatalyst design with the aim of encouraging the wider application of organic catalysts in ring-opening polymerization (ROP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiourea-Based Bifunctional Organocatalysis: Supramolecular Recognition for Living Polymerization
TL;DR: A versatile, metal-free, organocatalytic approach to the living ring-opening polymerization of lactide using a bifunctional thiourea-tertiary amine catalyst is described, producing poly(lactides) with predictable molecular weights and extremely narrow polydispersities, characteristic of a living polymerization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploration, Optimization, and Application of Supramolecular Thiourea−Amine Catalysts for the Synthesis of Lactide (Co)polymers
Russell C. Pratt,Bas G. G. Lohmeijer,David A. Long,P. N. Pontus Lundberg,Andrew P. Dove,Hongbo Li,Charles G. Wade,Robert M. Waymouth, ,§ and,James L. Hedrick +8 more
TL;DR: The structural flexibility and efficacy of thiourea−amine catalysts for the supramolecular activation and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide are described in this paper.
