Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Thermoresponsive CO₂‐based biodegradable polycarbonates are designed and prepared. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) can be quantitatively controlled within a temperature range covering physiological temperature, among which polycarbonate with a LCST of 36.3 °C (close to body temperature) is available. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1x6zp4s1" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
