Abstract

The synthesis of aliphatic polyesters by polycondensation and ring-opening polymerization is reviewed. This includes homopolyesters, random, block, graft, star, and hyper-branched (co)polyesters. Recent progress in the synthesis of high molecular weight aliphatic polyesters is described. Specific properties of these polymers are also given. The biomedical and ecological applications of these biodegradable polymers show their technological importance and relevance.KeywordsPolycondensationRing-opening polymerizationLactonesBiocompatibleBiodegradableBioresorbableHyper-branched polymers
