  • It analyzes different process variables, including catalysts, cocatalysts, solvents, and substrates, to determine their effects on the copolymerization.
  • The findings include kinetic studies, a proposed catalytic mechanism, complete characterization of the produced copolymers, and the introduction of a new copolymer called poly(limonene succinate).

Article Abstract

The optimization of an organoaluminum catalytic system for the copolymerization of epoxides and anhydrides is presented. For this purpose, the influence of different variables in the process, such as catalysts, cocatalyst, solvent, or substrates, has been analyzed. Kinetic studies, a proposal for the catalytic mechanism, and full characterization of the copolymers obtained are also discussed. Finally, a new copolymer, poly(limonene succinate), obtained by the optimized catalytic system is reported.
