“…The stereo-composition of the polymers affects the physical and chemical properties of themselves. Usually, PLA is prepared by the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide initiated by metal complexes, such as some alkoxides of Sn [7], Al [8][9][10][11][12], Zn [13][14][15][16], Mg [17][18][19], Fe [20], Ti [21][22][23][24][25][26], In [27], rare earth metal [28][29][30][31][32][33], organo-catalytic system [34,35], and enzyme [36]. In addition, the ring-opening copolymerization of epoxides and cyclic anhydrides has also the potential to produce a wider variety of polymer backbone structures [37,38].…”
