Abstract
Polyesters carrying polar main-chain ester linkages exhibit distinct material properties for diverse applications and thus play an important role in today's plastics economy. It is anticipated that they will play an even greater role in tomorrow's circular plastics economy that focuses on sustainability, thanks to the abundant availability of their biosourced building blocks and the presence of the main-chain ester bonds that can be chemically or biologically cleaved on demand by multiple methods and thus bring about more desired end-of-life plastic waste management options. Because of this potential and promise, there have been intense research activities directed at addressing recycling, upcycling or biodegradation of existing legacy polyesters, designing their biorenewable alternatives, and redesigning future polyesters with intrinsic chemical recyclability and tailored performance that can rival today's commodity plastics that are either petroleum based and/or hard to recycle. This review captures these exciting recent developments and outlines future challenges and opportunities. Case studies on the legacy polyesters, poly(lactic acid), poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)s, poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(butylene succinate), and poly(butylene-adipate terephthalate), are presented, and emerging chemically recyclable polyesters are comprehensively reviewed.

Abstract
An efficient, fast, and reliable method for the synthesis of high-molar-mass polyglycolide (PGA) in bulk using bismuth (III) subsalicylate through ring-opening transesterification polymerization is described. The difference between the crystallization (Tc ≈ 180 °C)/degradation (Td ≈ 245 °C) temperatures and the melting temperature (Tm ≈ 222 °C) significantly affects the ability to melt-process PGA homopolymer. To expand these windows, the effect of copolymer microstructure differences through incorporation of methyl groups in pairs using lactide or isolated using methyl glycolide (≤10% methyl) as comonomers on the thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties were studied. Structures of copolymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C NMR) spectroscopies. Films of copolymers were obtained, and the microstructural and physical properties were analyzed. PGA homopolymers exhibited an approximately 30 °C difference between Tm and Tc, which increased to 68 °C by incorporating up to 10% methyl groups in the chain while maintaining overall thermal stability. Oxygen and water vapor permeation values of solvent-cast nonoriented films of PGA homopolymers were found to be 4.6 cc·mil·m-2·d-1·atm-1 and 2.6 g·mil·m-2·d-1·atm-1, respectively. Different methyl distributions in the copolymer sequence, provided through either lactide or methyl glycolide, affected the resulting gas barrier properties. At 10% methyl insertion, using lactide as a comonomer significantly increased both O2 (32 cc·mil·m-2·d-1·atm-1) and water vapor (12 g·mil·m-2·d-1·atm-1) permeation. However, when methyl glycolide was utilized for methyl insertion at 10% Me content, excellent barrier properties for both O2 (2.9 cc·mil·m-2·d-1·atm-1) and water vapor (1.0 g·mil·m-2·d-1·atm-1) were achieved.

Abstract
The first example of solvent-free, organocatalyzed, polymerization of 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones, used as easily accessible monomers for the synthesis of polylactic acid (PLA), is described here. An optimization of reaction conditions was carried out, with p-toluensulfonic acid emerging as the most efficient Brønsted acid catalyst. The reactivity of the monomers in the tested conditions was studied following the monomer conversion by 1H NMR and the molecular weight growth by SEC analysis. A double activation polymerization mechanism was proposed, pointing out the key role of the acid catalyst. The formation of acetal bridges was demonstrated, to different extents depending on the nature of the aldehyde or ketone employed for lactic acid protection. The polymer shows complete retention of stereochemistry, as well as good thermal properties and good polydispersity, albeit modest molecular weight.

Abstract
In this report, the synthesis of poly(ω-pentadecalactone) (PPDL) (co)polymers and their incorporation into polyurethanes (PUs) are reported. Optimal conditions for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ω-pentadecalactone (PDL) using dibutyltin dilaurate catalyst were established. For the synthesis of linear and crosslinked PUs, 50 kDa poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and 1,6-hexamethylenediisocyanate (HDI) were used. The obtained polyurethanes were characterized by Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (AT-FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA). The DMA of the selected sample showed a rubbery plateau on the storage modulus versus temperature curve predicting shape memory behavior. Indeed, good shape memory performances were obtained with shape fixity (Rf) and shape recovery (Rr) ratios.

Abstract
Sequence-controlled polymerization is the forefront of polymer chemistry. Herein, the feasibility of sequence regulation by using organocatalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is demonstrated. In particular, ring expansion strategy is employed to synthesize pre-organized monomers 1 and 2. ROP is conducted by using 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene and benzyl alcohol as the catalyst and initiator, respectively. Poly(ester amide)s (PEAs) P1-P3 comprising glycolic acid, lactic acid, and 7-aminoheptanoic acid units are obtained in high molecular weights and good yields. NMR and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry results verify the microstructural integrity of P1 and P2. Differential scanning calorimetry results show that PEA without methyl branches is crystalline. Moreover, thermal stability, surface wettability, and degradation profiles of P1-P3 are also investigated.

Abstract
The emulation of the complex cellular and bacterial vesicles used to transport materials through fluids has the potential to add revolutionary capabilities to fluidic platforms. Although a number of artificial motile vesicles or microdroplets have been demonstrated previously, control over their movement in liquid in 3D has not been achieved. Here it is shown that by adding a chemical "fuel," a photoactive material, to the droplet, it can be moved in any direction (3D) in water using simple light sources without the need for additives in the water. The droplets can be made up of a range of solvents and move with speeds as high as 10.4 mm s-1 toward or away from the irradiation source as a result of a light-induced isothermal change in interfacial tension (Marangoni flow). It is further demonstrated that more complex functions can be accomplished by merging a photoactive droplet with a droplet carrying a "cargo" and moving the new larger droplet to a "reactor" droplet where the cargo undergoes a chemical reaction. The control and versatility of this light-activated, motile droplet system will open up new possibilities for fluidic chemical transport and applications.

Herein, we demonstrated a chemo-enzymatic ring opening polymerization (ROP) approach for block copolyester, that is, poly(4-benzyl formate piperidine lactone- b-ω-pentadecalactone) (PNPIL- b-PPDL), in a one-pot two-step process. Afterward, cationic poly(4-piperidine lactone- b-ω-pentadecalactone) (PPIL- b-PPDL) with pendent secondary amino groups was obtained via acidic hydrolysis of PNPIL- b-PPDL. The resulting cationic block copolyester exhibited high antibacterial activity against Gram negative E. coli and Gram positive S. aureus, while showed low toxicity toward NIH-3T3 cells. Moreover, the antibacterial property, cytotoxicity and degradation behavior could be tuned simply by variation of PPIL content. Therefore, we anticipate that such cationic block copolymers could potentially be applied as biomaterials for medicine or implants.

Abstract
Poly(pentadecalactone)-b-poly(l-lactide) (PPDL-b-PLLA) diblock copolymers were prepared via the organic catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of l-lactide (l-LA) from PPDL macroinitiators using either 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD). Synthesis of PLLA blocks targeting degrees of polymerization (DP) up to 500 were found to yield diblock copolymers with crystalline PPDL and PLLA segments when TBD was used as the catalyst. The synthesis was further improved in a one-pot, two-step process using the same TBD catalyst for the synthesis of both segments. The application of these diblock copolymers as a compatibilizing agents resulted in homogenization of a biobased PLLA/poly(ω-hydroxytetradecanoate) (90:10) blend upon a melt-process, yielding enhanced material properties.

Abstract
The use of organocatalysts for the polymerization of ethylene brassylate, a commercially available, cheap, and renewable macro(di)lactone is reported for the first time. Ethylene brassylate was polymerized by ring-opening polymerization under bulk and solution conditions at 80 °C. Polymerizations were carried out in the presence of several organic catalysts, such as dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA), diphenyl phosphate (DPP), p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and bases, 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD), 1,2,3-tricyclohexylguanidine (TCHG), and 1,2,3-triisopropylguanidine (TIPG), using benzyl alcohol as initiator. Results agreed with a ring opening polymerization process in which the rate of polymerization was accelerated by the catalysts presence in the order of TBD > PTSA > DBSA > DPP > TIPG > TCHG. Complementary computational studies supported the experimental results. The obtained poly(ethylene brassylate) aliphatic polyesters were characterized by NMR, SEC, MALDI-TOF, DSC, and TGA. They showed molecular weights ranging from 2 to 13 kg mol-1 and polydispersity index between 1.5 and 2. Poly(ethylene brassylate) is a semicrystalline polyester similar to poly(ε-caprolactone) with slightly higher melting and glass transition temperatures (Tm = 69 °C, Tg = -33 °C) and good thermal stability.
