Mechanistic studies of the metal catalyzed formation of polycarbonates and their thermoplastic elastomers

Studies concerning the formation of industrially useful polycarbonates are the focus of this dissertation. Of particular importance is the biodegradable polymer, poly(trimethylene carbonate) which has a wide range of medical applications. The production of polycarbonates can be achieved by the ring-...
