biodegradable polymer synthesis and properties

The coupling of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) with epoxides with the formation of cyclic carbonates is a highly attractive 100% atom economic reaction. It represents a greener and safer alternative to the conventional synthesis of cyclic carbonates from diols and toxic phosgene.
