Novel Tailor made Multiblock Polyesters/Polycarbonates Biomaterials via Organometallic Polymerization Synthesis

Since 1940, mass production of polyolefin plastics produced annually has increased rapidly [1]. The most common plastics, which account for approximately 80% of the European plastic demand, are: Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) and Polystyrene (PS) (Figure 1) [2]. Therefore, plastic materials have experienced a substantial expansion, and are the most used materials nowadays. These materials have a wide range of application from packaging to electronic devices [3].
