Catalytic systems for controlled ring-opening polymerization reactions
The invention describes catalyst systems for ring-opening polymerization of cyclic compounds like epoxides and lactones. These catalysts, using Group 13 and 15 metals, enable controlled polymerization, producing polymers with precise molecular weights and functionalities, and can extend existing polymers to form block copolymers. Background Ring-opening...
