Combination of the living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-CL and lactides with the "controlled" free radical polymerization of styrene and methacrylic monomers is a versatile strategy for the synthesis of well-defined block and graft copolymers. In this respect, the dual "living" polymerization strategy in which two different functional groups on a single molecule used to initiate the two controlled mechanisms is particularly efficient. Combination of ROP and step-growth polymerization is another versatile methodology for the preparation of a large variety of new materials, e.g. polyimide nanofoams, polyester/silica hybrid materials and star and branched polyesters by dendritic initiation.
