Present:
Synthesis of a series of low molecular weight, low
polydispersity, EO/CO2 linear poly(ether carbonates).
Synthesis of a series of carbonate-containing vinyl monomers
(acrylates, acetates, etc) that can be polymerized by
Controlled Free Radical techniques. Co-polymerization of
carbonate monomers with vinyl acetate and trifluorovinyl
acetate. Solubility of these polycarbonates in scCO2, for
use as surfactants.
