This review presents the latest developments in (bio)degradable approaches and functional aliphatic polyesters and polycarbonates prepared by typical ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones and trimethylene carbonates. It also considers several recent innovative synthetic methods including radical ring-opening polymerization (RROP), atom transfer radical polyaddition (ATRPA), and simultaneous chain- and step-growth radical polymerization (SCSRP) that produce aliphatic polyesters. With regard to (bio)degradable approaches, we have summarized several representative cleavable linkages that make it possible to obtain cleavable polymers. In the section on functional aliphatic polyesters, we explore the syntheses of specific functional lactones, which can be performed by ring-opening copolymerization of typical lactone/lactide monomers. Last but not the least, in the recent innovative methods section, three interesting synthetic methodologies, RROP, ATRPA, and SCSRP are discussed in detail with regard to their reaction mechanisms and polymer functionalities.

Four synthetic routes to poly(L-lactide) with thiol end groups based on ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide (LA) catalysed with tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate (Sn(Oct)2) are reported. The following alcohols were used as co-initiators of polymerization: 2-sulfanylethan-1-ol, 2-[(2,4-dinitrophenyl)sulfanyl]ethan-1-ol, 2-(tritylsulfanyl)ethan-1-ol and allyl alcohol. End groups introduced into polymers by co-initiators were transformed to thiol groups by a subsequent modification reaction. The efficiencies of the used synthetic methods were evaluated and discussed. The best results were obtained with co-initiator 2-(tritylsulfanyl)ethan-1-ol.

The convergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning with material science holds significant promise to rapidly accelerate development timelines of new high-performance polymeric materials. Within this context, we report an inverse design strategy for polycarbonate and polyester discovery based on a recommendation system that proposes polymerization experiments that are likely to produce materials with targeted properties. Following recommendations of the system driven by the historical ring-opening polymerization results, we carried out experiments targeting specific ranges of monomer conversion and dispersity of the polymers obtained from cyclic lactones and carbonates. The results of the experiments were in close agreement with the recommendation targets with few false negatives or positives obtained for each class.<br>
