A 'Switch' catalysis method is reviewed whereby a single catalyst is switched between ring-opening polymerization and ring-opening copolymerization cycles. It allows the efficient synthesis of block copolymers from mixtures of lactones, epoxides, anhydrides and carbon dioxide. In order to use and further develop such 'Switch' catalysis, it is important to understand how to monitor the catalysis and characterize the product block copolymers. Here, a step-by-step guide to both the catalysis and the identification of block copolymers is presented.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Providing sustainable catalytic solutions for a rapidly changing world'.
本文综述了一种“切换”催化方法,即单一催化剂可在开环聚合和开环共聚循环之间切换。该方法能够从内酯、环氧化物、酸酐和二氧化碳的混合物中高效合成嵌段共聚物。为了应用并进一步发展这种“切换”催化,了解如何监测催化过程以及表征产物嵌段共聚物非常重要。在此,本文提供了一份关于催化过程和嵌段共聚物鉴定的分步指南。本文是“为快速变化的世界提供可持续催化解决方案”研讨会论文集的一部分。
