Is polymerization of low molecular weight diols with DMC catalyst possible? If so, what is the parameters we should follow? Because DMC can be activated by minimum 400 molecular weight polyols which is derived from KOH.
Dear Narayanan Subramanian, DMC is rather an old catalyst that is largely investigated. Please have a look at the following links. My Regards
