Ring Opening Polymerisation Of cyclic esters
« on: December 30, 2008, 11:09:43 PM »
hey! I wanna know how and why the ring opening polymerisation of cyclic esters is affected by increase in temperature.Will the increase in temperature improve the amount of polymers produced if i use delta-valerolactone as the monomer?

pls I really need someone assistance..

This might be more general than you're looking, hopefully it's helpful.

Temperature is linked to entropy.  Opening a ring is entropically favorable.  Any process that relies on opening a ring should be enhanced by increasing temperature.
