A fast synthesis pathway of poly(salicylate) in mild conditions was explored, in which the combination of Lewis base and alcohol enables salicylic acid o-carboxyanhydride polymerize in seconds to afford well-defined hompolymers with high Tg.
Cyclic polyesters with very interesting topologies and unique properties have great attraction. However, the synthesis of cyclic polyesters via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of O-carboxyanhydrides (OCAs) has been hardly reported by...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
