Facile Preparation of Stereoblock PLA From Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide by a Synergetic Binary Catalytic System Containing Ureas and Alkoxides

Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters/lactones by efficient catalysts is a powerful method for synthesis of biodegradable and biocompatible polyesters with well-defined structures. To develop catalytic systems that are fast, selective and controlled is a persistent effort of chemists. I...
