摘要： Catalysts for poly(lactide) synthesis are provided herein. Also provided are methods of synthesizing the catalysts, methods of using the catalysts to make poly(lactides), and compositions comprising the same. Synthetic petrochemical-based polymers have had an industrial impact since the 1940s. Despite the numerous advantages of these materials, two major drawbacks remain to be solved, namely, the use of nonrenewable resources for their production and the ultimate disposal of these large-scale commodity polymers.
