2. 1. Novel Possibilities for Advanced Molecular Structure Design for Polymers and Networks

   Author : Anna Finne; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ring-opening polymerization; coordination-insertion; germanium; cyclic tin alkoxides; spirocyclic initiators; poly L-lactide ; poly 1; 5-dioxepan-2-one ; triblock; star-shaped; network; functionalization; morphology; AFM; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : Synthetic and degradable polymers are an attractive choicein many areas, since it is possible to control the way in whichthey are manufactured; more specifically, pathways tomanipulate the architecture, the mechanical properties and thedegradation times have been identified. In this work,L-lactide, 1,5-dioxepan-2-one and ε-caprolactone were usedas monomers to synthesize polymers with different architecturesby ring-opening polymerization. READ MORE

4. 2. Bioresorbable copolymers with tailored properies : innovative materials för soft tissuel engineering

   Author : Natalia Andronova; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Pieter Dijkstra; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; poly 1; 5-dioxepan-2-one ; poly ε-caprolactone ; poly L-lactide ; poly trimethylene carbonate ; triblock; network; cyclic tin alkoxide; controlled coordination-insertion ring-opening polymerization; thermoplastic elastomers; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : The emerging need for new synthetic materials for soft tissue engineering applications encourages the search for innovative polymers having interesting properties. Ring-opening polymerization of lactones and lactides initiated by tin alkoxides has received particular attention due to the versatility of the method for building up well-defined biodegradable structures.
