In a world that canopies numerous opportunities to advance towards a green sustainable
life, biopolymer development offers a platform that fits into the paradigm of achieving an eco …

Poly (hydroxy acid) s are a family of biocompatible and (bio) degradable polyesters with
various outcomes in different domains of application. To date, poly (hydroxy acid) s are best …

Tripodal dianionic diamino-or amino-alkoxy-bis (phenolate) ligands {ONXOR1, R2}(X= NR2,

Plastics are ubiquitous in modern society. However, the reliance on fossil fuels and the
environmental persistence of most polymers make them unsustainable. Scientists are facing …

Aliphatic polycarbonates (APCs) were discovered a long time ago, with their conventional
applications mostly limited to low‐molecular‐weight oligomeric intermediates for …

We report here on the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic β‐thiobutyrolactone
(rac‐TBL), as the first chemical synthesis of poly (3‐thiobutyrolactone)(P3TB), the thioester …

In this study, novel biobased pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) derived from epoxidized
soybean oils and carboxylic acid-terminated polyesters were developed with flame …

Catalysis based on well-defined iron complexes has experienced a very strong growth over
the last decade, driven by the need to develop a chemistry that is increasingly in line with …

Origins of stereoselectivity in ROP of racemic chiral cyclic esters promoted by achiral yttrium
complexes, resulting in the formation of highly heterotactic polylactide, and highly …

Reported herein is the first stereoselective controlled ROP of a specific family of racemic
functional β‐lactones, namely 4‐alkoxymethylene‐β‐propiolactones (BPLORs). This …
