A Direct Comparison Between Ring-Opening Copolymerization and Polycondensation to Produce Polyesters Using Poly(ethylene succinate) as An Example

Compared with the polycondensation of diacids (or diesters) with diols to produce polyesters, the ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of epoxides and anhydrides is regarded as a promising alternative strategy because of...
