Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable polyester with a low melting point of around 60 ° C and a glass transition temperature of about − 60 ° C. PCL is prepared by ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone using a catalyst such as stannous octanoate.
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable polyester with a low melting point of around 60 ° C and a glass transition temperature of about − 60 ° C. PCL is derived by chemical synthesis from crude oil. It can be prepared by ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone using a catalyst such as stannous octanoate.
