Abstract:Polymer materials play a pivotal role in shaping modern society. The continuous development of polymer materials can be largely attributed to innovations in polymerization methods, especially in the development of new catalysts. When pursuing high-performance catalysts, it is crucial to consider their cost and safety for practical applications. Alkali metal carboxylates (AMCs) are widely available simple chemicals, and some of them are used as food additives. In the past few years, our group has demonstrated t… Show more
Amino-functionalized polyesters (APEs) are a remarkable class of polymeric materials with a wide range of applications, e.g. as antibacterial materials, gene delivery carriers, and biodegradable plastics. However, the current APE...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
