Abstract: Four kinds of methods for the synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol succinate)(PES) were reviewed, including direct esterification, ring-opening polymerization, transesterification polymerization, and coupling reaction. The technology of direct esterification and the involved catalysts were emphatically introduced. Moreover, the development of PES synthesis was forecasted.

Key words: poly(ethylene glycol succinate), synthesis, direct esterification, ring-opening polymerization, transesterification polymerization, coupling reaction, catalyst, process
