Article Synopsis
- Polyesters (PEs) are presented as environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional polymers due to their degradability and recyclability from bio-based materials.
- A new one-pot, one-step self-switchable polymerization method was used to create bio-based hot-melt adhesives by combining the polymerization of epoxides and cyclic anhydrides with L-lactide, resulting in copolyesters with various architectures.
- The study found that the adhesive strength of these copolyesters was significantly influenced by their structure, with the (AB)-type star-block copolyester showing competitive adhesive performance compared to commercial adhesives.
