Abstract
Ring opening copolymerization of ethylene brassylate (EB) and δ-valerolactone (δ-VL) with various feeding ratios catalyzed by triphenyl bismuth was performed to prepare poly(ethylene brassylate-co-δ-valerolactone) copolyesters. The reactivity ratios of EB and δ-VL were firstly determined to be rEB=0.64 and rVL=2.54, respectively. Then the copolymerization kinetics was traced and microstructure analysis showed that the chain structure of...
