Lactone polymerisation / Lactone polymerization

内酯聚合 (nèi zhǐ jù hé)

Explanation (EN)

Lactone polymerization is a type of ring-opening polymerization that involves the reaction of lactone monomers. Lactones are cyclic esters. During polymerization, the ring is opened, and the monomers link together to form a polymer chain. Lactone polymerization is used to synthesize polyesters, which have various applications in biodegradable plastics, drug delivery systems, and resorbable sutures.

Explanation (ZH)

内酯聚合是一种开环聚合,涉及内酯单体的反应。内酯是环酯。在聚合过程中,环被打开,单体连接在一起形成聚合物链。内酯聚合用于合成聚酯,聚酯在可生物降解塑料、药物输送系统和可吸收缝线中具有多种应用。
