Zr(IV) catalyst for the ring opening copolymerization of anhydrides (A) with epoxides (B), oxetane (B) and tetrahydrofurans (C) to make ABB- and/or ABC- poly(ester-alt-ethers)
Poly(ester-alt-ethers) can combine beneficial ether linkage flexibility and polarity, with ester linkage hydrolysability furnishing fully degradable polymers. Despite their promising properties, this class of polymers remains underexplored, in part due to difficulties in polymer synthesis. Here, a c...
