The synthesis and ring-opening polymerisation of novel cyclic esters from malic acid
The work in this thesis is directed towards the preparation of cyclic ester monomers using malic acid as a renewable resource. Their subsequent controlled ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) to yield functionalised poly(ester)s is studied and application in micellar self-assembly reported. Chapter 1 r...
