Synthesis of poly(glycolide) in supercritical carbon dioxide in the presence of a hydrocarbon stabiliser

Abstract

The first example of a hydrocarbon based stabiliser for ring opening polymerisation in scCO2 is reported, allowing the preparation of solvent free poly(glycolide) microparticles in a clean, one step process.
