Abstract
-d-2HB) can confer crystallizability by stereocomplexation and the biodegradable materials with a wide variety of physical properties and biodegradability are highly expected to be prepared by synthesis of alternating copolymers of various combinations of two types of chiral α-substituted 2-hydroxyalkanoic acid monomers and their SC crystallization.
