Abstract
Homopolymers of β-butyrolactone, L-lactide, δ-valerolactone, and methyl methacrylate, as well as their block copolymers, were prepared with simple initiator systems based on alkali metal alkoxides and alkali metal supramolecular complexes. The goal was to synthesize polymeric materials with potential biodegradability.Keywords
