The present study is one of the first examples for rare earth metal-mediated group transfer
polymerization (REM-GTP) with non-metallocene catalyst systems. 2-Methoxyethylaminobis …

One‐step synthesis of star copolymers by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer
(RAFT) and ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) by using a novel dual initiator is reported …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates are a family of natural polyesters being produced as intracellular

Pyridine-based heteroaromatic yttrium-bis (phenolate) complexes were investigated in ring-
opening polymerization of racemic β-butyrolactone (rac-BBL) and (−)-menthide. In addition …

The poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB)/poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) grafting copolymer was
successfully prepared by PHB and acrylate groups ended PEGM using AIBN as initiator. The …

Copolymerization is a versatile synthetic tool for controlling the functionality and, therefore,
