  Lactide Polymerisation with Complexes of Neutral N-Donors – New Strategies for Robust Catalysts
  
  Recent developments in the area of lactide ring-opening polymerisation catalysed by complexes with neutral N-donor ligands are summarised. The applicability of these complexes is highlighted with special emphasis on the polymerisation conditions. Robustness and tolerance of the catalyst towards moisture and monomer impurities are identified as crucial features for thepolymerisation activity. [Microreview]

All Foamed Up

Synthesis of macroporous polystyrene through polymerization of foamed emulsions

Packaging, insulation, and impact protection are examples of commercial uses of polymer foams. Depending on the intended application, the properties required of these foams can differ greatly. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a team of German, Irish, and French researchers led by Cosima Stubenrauch at the University of Stuttgart has now introduced a new method for the controlled production of structured foams. Their technique is based on the polymerization of foamed emulsions of oil in water.
