Ring-Opening Polymerization of l-Lactic Acid O-Carboxyanhydrides Initiated by Alkoxy Rare Earth Compounds

The ring-opening polymerization of l-lactic acid O-carboxyanhydrides was initiated by triisopropoxyneodymium in toluene-THF mixtures. Typically, high yields and relatively high molecular weight PLAs were obtained within 4 h at 25 °C. The reaction was highly controllable and easy to conduct, and the...
