| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/11137 Studies towards degradable polymers new zinc (II) and palladium (II) complexes as catalysts for lactide polymerization and carbon monoxide Malatji, Peter Chemistry Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. In this study a range of new zinc and palladium complexes were synthesized, characterized and used in the production of degradable polymers. Zinc complexes were used for the production of polylactides (PLAs) functionalized with a drug candidate on a polymer tail. These functionalized polymers displayed slow drug release properties under physiological conditions. Palladium complexes were utilized for the production of a photodegradable CO/styrene copolymer (CP) which was subsequently reacted with lactide to form a new poly(lactide-co-CO/styrene) block copolymer. 2015-01-03T05:43:29Z 2015-01-03T05:43:29Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11137 eng application/pdf Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
