Organocatalyzed ring-opening copolymerization of α-bromo-γ-butyrolactone with ε-caprolactone for the synthesis of functional aliphatic polyesters – pre-polymers for graft copolymerization

Diphenyl phosphate (DPP) was exploited as an organocatalyst to synthesize copolymers by ring-opening polymerization with α-bromo-γ-butyrolactone (αBrγBL) and ε-caprolactone (εCL) as monomers and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as initiator. The conversion rates of monomers and molecular weights of copolym...
