Exploring methods for synthesizing biodegradable polymers

I’ve been looking into various strategies for synthesizing biodegradable polymers, particularly using controlled radical polymerization techniques. It’s fascinating how different initiators can significantly influence both the molecular weight and thermal properties of the final product. I’m eager to hear if anyone has had hands-on experience with specific catalysts or processes that have yielded improved material properties in their projects.
