Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers with Chain End Modification: Polylactide, Poly(butylene succinate), and Poly(hydroxyalkanoate)

Of the various synthetic biodegradable polymers, polylactide, poly(butylene succinate), and poly(hydroxyalkanoate) have been widely studied developed. This review focuses on studies of chain end modification these polymers. The selected research was categorized into initiators, modification, including extending, degradation reaction. We cover recent literature this topic, discuss developing trends challenges polylactide (PLA), succinate) (PBS), (PHA) papers were reaction, from viewpoint approaches.
