Telechelic polymers have garnered a great deal of scientific interest due to their reactive chain-end functions. This comprehensive book compiles and details basic principles and cutting-edge research in telechelic polyesters, polyethers, and polycarbonates, ranging from synthesis to applications. It discusses general strategies towards telechelic polymers, centered on fundamental aspects of polycondensation reactions of cationic, anionic, coordination-insertion, and activated monomer mechanisms of the metal-, enzyme-, or otherwise organo-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of cyclic...
