Abstract

The application of new initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters has markedly improved the macromolecular engineering of biodegradable polyesters. A wide variety of complex macromolecular architectures can nowadays be prepared using these initiators. Decisive factors in achieving this are the range of monomers that can be polymerized, and the favourable rates of polymerization obtained for these monomers. The number of papers dealing with the exciting synthetic aspects of these initiators is rapidly increasing. A historic overview of the developments in this area is presented in this paper.
