A novel strategy towards cyclic aliphatic (co)polyesters by H. Li, L. Lei, Ch. Gao, Y. Li, J. Chi, Ph. Lecomte, R. Jerome, Ch. Jerome

“…No linear species is ever involved in the polymerization and permanent cyclization steps, which allows higher molecular weight macrocycles to be prepared with high efficiency and no need for further purification. Moreover, this synthetic route is very flexible to the point where macrocyclic polyesters with more complex although well-defined architectures, such as tadpole-shaped and sun-shaped copolyesters, can be tailored. …”
