A one-pot method for the preparation of a new family of PLA materials is reported that combines heterotactic (soft) and isotactic stereoblocks (hard). The ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide with a salanrare-earth-metalalkyl complex in the presence of excess triethanolamine was performed in an immortal mode to give three-armed heterotactic poly(lactide) (soft) with excellent end-hydroxy fidelity. The in situ addition of a salenaluminumalkyl precursor to the above polymerization system under any monomer-conversion conditions activated the dormant hydroxy-ended PLA chains to propagate through the incorporation of the remaining rac-lactide monomer, but with isospecific selectivity (hard). The resultant PLA had a three-armed architecture with controlled molecular weight and extremely narrow molecular-weight distribution (PDI<1.08). More strikingly, each side-arm simultaneously possessed highly heterotactic (soft) and highly isotactic (hard) segments and the ratio of these two stereoregular sequences could be swiftly adjusted by tuning the addition time of the salenaluminumalkyl precursor to the polymerization system. Therefore, star-shaped hardsoft stereoblock poly(lactide)s with various Pm values and crystallinity were achieved in a single reactor for the first time. This strategy should be applicable to the synthesis of a series of new types of stereoblock polyesters by using an immortal-polymerization process and a proper choice of specific, selective metal-based catalysts.
