Ring-Opening Copolymerization Synthesis of Tailored Biobased Block Polyesters and Their Application as Biocompatible Additives within Tire Rubber Formulations
Aliphatic polyesters (APEs) are premier candidates for sustainable materials due to their biocompatibility and hydrolytic degradability. However, expanding their structural and thermal diversity requires moving beyond traditional petroleum-based monomers toward renewable, biosourced alternatives like carbohydrates, v...
