Sustainable Synthesis of Polyesters via Ring-Opening Polymerization
Abstract
This thesis presents the development of an automated flow chemistry platform for synthesizing polyesters with precisely controlled molecular weights and distributions. It integrates inline FT-IR analysis, machine automation, and flow chemistry to enable high-throughput, multidimensional screening of polymerization reactions. A CTR-based model was developed to optimize inline monitoring, achieving high accuracy (
