Organocatalytic Ring-Opening Copolymerization of Trimethylene Carbonate and Dithiolane Trimethylene Carbonate: Impact of Organocatalysts on Copolymerization Kinetics and Copolymer Microstructures

= 1.27-1.80). Moreover, polymerization kinetics revealed that DTC was preferentially polymerized followed by first-order polymerization of TMC, leading to blocky copolymers. These results signify that type of organocatalysts has a critical influence on polymerization kinetics of cyclic carbonates, copolymer sequence, and molar mass control.
