Designing polymeric materials for closed-loop material streams is the key to achieving a circular society. Here, a library of macrocyclic carbonates (MCs) was designed by a facile and direct one-pot, ...

PU-5 was produced from a generic recipe, in which additives comprising of water, triethylenediamine, stannous octoate, and a silicon-based stabilizer were added. Pleasingly, all of these components in ...

Terpolymers of L-lactide, D,L-lactide and trimethylene carbonate (TMC) were synthesized via the ring-opening polymerization reaction for cyclic monomers using stannous octoate as the initiator at a ...

Low molecular weight poly (lactic acid) (PLA LMW) was synthesized by direct polycondensation of D,L lactic acid by using p -toluenesulfonic acid and stannous octoate as catalysts, as described by ...
