Abstract

Back Cover: An efficient polycondensation route for telechelic poly(disulfide)s is developed from two monomers-2,2'-dithiodipyridine and 1,6-hexanedithiol-using stoichiometric imbalance between them. Selective thiol-disulfide exchange of the two terminal pyridyl disulfide groups with functional thiol produces functionalized poly(disulfide)s that can be used as a macro-initiator to initiate ROP of lactide generating a triblock copolymer with degradable middle block. Further details can be found in the article by D. Basak, R. Kumar, and S. Ghosh* on page 1340.
