The polymerization of racemic lactide with a racemic aluminum alkoxide catalyst is reported. Microstructural analysis of the polymer produced with 1 H NMR spectroscopy revealed that an isotactic stereoblock poly(lactic acid) formed, where each enantiomerically pure block contained an average of 11 l
Polylactides (PLAs) are among the most important synthetic biodegradable polymers investigated for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications such as controlled drug delivery, resorbable sutures, medical implants, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. [1] On the basis of annually renewable resources
