Polymers from sugars and CS<sub>2</sub>: ring opening copolymerisation of a <scp>d</scp>-xylose anhydrosugar oxetane
Thomas M. McGuire, Antoine Buchard
Abstract
An oxetane derived from <sc>d</sc>-xylose has been copolymerised with CS<sub>2</sub> into sulfur-containing polymers which are chemically recyclable and degradable under UV light.
