Controlled Synthesis of Statistical Polycarbonates Based on Epoxides and CO₂

The controlled synthesis of terpolymer structures is often limited by the intrinsic reactivities monomers. For a statistical from cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and propylene (PO) with CO2, an instrumental solution demanded. Implementing setup where one monomer can be added to reaction mixture over whole course reaction, random distribution epoxides chain realized. successful terpolymerization determined diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy gel permeation chromatography measurements while microstructure generated polymers indicated in NMR differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Furthermore, concept transferred limonene PO CO2 underlining versatility setup.
