Abstract

Poly(L-lactide) end-functionalized by an imidazolium ring was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide from a hydroxylated ionic liquid. When challenged with CNTs in solution, this polyester exhibited significant binding ability towards the nanotube surface with respect to ω-pyrene poly(L-lactide).
