Abstract
The anionic and/or insertion copolymerization of 2,2-dimethyltrimethyl ene carbonate (DTC) with epsilon-caprolactone (ECL), pivalolactone (PV L) and L-lactide (LLA) is presented with special emphasis on the copol ymerization mechanism. Statistical copolymers are obtained by copolyme rization of DTC with ECL and with LLA, while with PVL a block copolyme r is obtained. The role of transesterification on the microstructure i s discussed.
