Heterogeneous catalysts for the controlled ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide and homogeneous silsesquioxane model complexes.
In this communication we report, for the first time, the ring-opening polymerisation in the melt of rac-lactide with heterogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous model systems based on silsesquioxanes have been prepared for comparison.
