Synthesis of macromonomers bearing hydrolyzable segments derived from alpha-hydroxyalkanoic acids
Methacrylic macromonomers bearing hydrolyzable oligoester segments are prepared by derivatization of oligo(alpha-hydroxyalkanoic acids) (obtained by thermal polycondensation) with methacrylic acid and copolymerized with tert-butyl acrylate.
