Biodegradable poly(α-hydroxy acids) can be synthesized by means of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of -carboxyanhydrides (OCAs). Numerous catalysts have been developed to control the living polymerization of OCAs. Here we review the rationale for the use of OCA, the desirable features for and important attributes of catalysts for the ROP of OCAs, and specific examples that have been developed.
可生物降解的聚(α-羟基酸)可以通过α-羧基环酸酐(OCA)的开环聚合(ROP)来合成。人们已经开发出许多催化剂来控制OCA的活性聚合。在此,我们综述了使用OCA的基本原理、OCA开环聚合催化剂的理想特性和重要属性,以及已开发出的具体实例。
