Tailoring the crystallization of poly(l-lactide) via structural optimization of hydrogen-bonding segments with different aliphatic spacer lengths

Abstract

In this work, a series of hydroxy-terminated oxalamide derivatives containing different aliphatic spacer lengths (OXA-n, HO-(CH2)n-NHCOCONH-(CH2)n-OH , n=2, 4, 6) were designed as initiators for L-lactide ring-opening polymerization and then...
