TL;DR: The bulk ring-opening polymerization of renewable δ-decalactone using 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.0]dec-5-ene was carried out at temperatures between 7 and 110 °C as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a polystyrene-b-polylactide (PS-PLA) was employed as a precursor to nanoporous thin films containing perpendicular cylindrical channels.

TL;DR: The synthesis of renewable, enzymatically hydrolyzable, and mechanically competitive polyester elastomers demonstrated high thermal stability and a low glass transition (-50 °C), indicating a wide range of use temperatures.

TL;DR: In this article, structural effects on reprocessability and stress relaxation in cross-linked polyhydroxyurethane (PHU) networks are studied, and it is shown that PHUs derived from bis(five-membered cyclic carbonates) are shown to decompose at temperatures needed for reprocessing, likely via initial reversion of the PHU linkage and subsequent side reactions of the liberated amine and cyclic carbate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that it is possible to access the superstrong segregation regime (SSSR) with nonionic, flexible coil block copolymers, by using three-monomer ABC triblock copolymer and judicious choice of chemical groups A, B, and C.
