The main aim of this research has been to design, synthesise and test the effectiveness of various tin(II) alkoxide initiators in the bulk ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of cyclic esters for intended use as absorbable surgical sutures. Tin(II) alkoxides in solid form were synthesised using anhydr...
