Spontaneous zwitterionic copolymerisation: An undervalued and efficacious technique for the synthesis of functional degradable oligomers and polymers
TLDR
The spontaneous zwitterionic copolymerisation (SZWIP) of compatible nucleophilic and electrophilic monomers is a relatively unknown and unexplored method for the synthesis of (predominantly alternating) degradable co- and terpolymers as mentioned in this paper.About:
