Abstract
Recent advances in enzyme, metal, and organic catalysts have enabled the development of advanced functional polymers from cyclic ester and cyclic carbonate monomers. In this work, we present an in situ technique to monitor ring-opening polymerization using an external Raman probe. Raman spectroscopy allows us to quantitatively determine the concentration of multiple monomers over the course of a reaction and estimate reactivity ratios. This technique can be used to rapidly screen a wide range of reaction conditions and monomers to elucidate their effects on the reaction kinetics and copolymerization behavior.Proceedings Title
