Syntheses and application of polylactides
Abstract
Polylactides can be prepared by direct polycondensation of lactic acid, or better, by ring-opening polymerization of cyclic dilactides (usually called lactides). These lactides exist in the form of four stereoisomers two of which (L,L- and rac. -D,L-) are technically produced in large quantities. These lactides can by polymerized via four different classes of initiators and reaction mechanisms. The characteristics mechanistic and preparative features of the cationic polymerization, anionic polymerization and of the coordination-insertion mechanism are described. Furthermore, copolymerizations of lactides with glycolide or epsilon-caprolactone and their analytical problems are discussed. Finally, a new type of wound dressing based on transparent are resorbable films of copolylactides is mentioned.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
