Front Cover: In article number 1900306, Ulrich S. Schubert and co-workers show that Sr(OiPr)2 is a highly active catalyst/initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide various lactones, producing polyesters with excellent end-group fidelity. The catalyst promising applications in implant production because strontium beneficial bone regeneration.
