摘要: Syntheses and properties of aliphatic aromatic polythioesters (PTEs) were reviewed including polythiocarbonates polythiourethanes. The content is subdivided into the following sections: PTEs α‐mercapto carboxylic acid, ω‐mercapto acids, derived from α,ω‐dimercapto alkanes, poly(thioester)s, poly(thiocarbonate)s, poly(thiourethane)s polythiocarbonates. synthetic strategies in this article include anionic cationic ring‐opening polymerizations, polycondensations bulk, solutions, interfacial vitro enzymatic polycondensations.
