The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of catalyst preparation temperature and time, and catalyst size in relation to the performance of the zinc glutarate (ZnGA) catalyst and the polypropylene carbonate (PPC) produced. Various ZnGA catalysts were synthesized at several combinat...
