Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Amide end-capped PLA can be efficiently prepared by taking advantage of the ability of amines to ring-open lactide. A two-step one-pot strategy has been developed in which primary or secondary amines are reacted with an excess of lactide prior to the addition of the ROP catalyst, DBU. Amide-functionalised PLA of diff erent structures (linear, telechelic, star-shaped etc.) have been prepared using polyfunctional amines as initiators. Primary amines supported on resins also readily react with lactide, and this has been applied to remove unreacted monomer from PLA samples without affecting the polymer properties.
