Our group recently found a way to make a poly(lactic acid) mechanochemically using organocatalysts.
Now it is online on ChemSuschem. The discovery of a way of taming high mechanochemical energy allowed us to grow a polymer chain without degradation.
This time, it is with my student, Nuri Ohn. Also Dr. Jihoon Shin (KRICT) and Prof. Sung Sik Kim (Chonbuk) made important contributions.
Our group will continue a journey on mechanochemistry to gain more understanding and controls.
