Synthesis, Properties, and Applications of Bio-Based Cyclic Aliphatic Polyesters

Cyclic polymers have long been reported in the literature, but their development has often stunted by synthetic difficulties such as presence of linear contaminants. Research into synthesis these made great progress past decade, and this review covers synthesis, properties, applications cyclic polymers, with an emphasis on bio-based aliphatic polyesters. Synthetic routes to synthesized from bioderived monomers, alongside mechanistic descriptions for both ring closure expansion polymerization approaches, are reviewed. The also highlights some unique physical properties together potential applications. findings illustrate substantial recent developments syntheses well which can be commercialization through versatility topology provides.
