The degradation of poly(oxyethylene) -poly( 1-caprolactone) (POE-PCL) multiblock copolymers was investigated at 37ЊC in a 0.13M, pH 7.4 phosphate buffer selected to mimic in vivo conditions. The copolymers were obtained by coupling polycaprolactone diols and poly(ethylene glycol) diacids using dicyc

The thermal stability of poly-c-caprolactone samples obtained by ring-opening polymerization in the presence of different metal alkoxides has been investigated. A significant degradation of the polyesters is observed under isothermal conditions at 120OC. The degradation is related to the nature of t
## Abstract The thermal degradation of ternary blends of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC), and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was studied using a thermogravimetry analyzer under dynamic heating in flowing nitrogen atmosphere. PCL degraded in a single stage, whereas the PVAC and PV
The objective of this study was to enhance the degradation of the homopolymer of -caprolactone (-CL) through its copolymerization with a second lactone monomer: ␦-valerolactone (␦-VL), ␥-butyrolactone (␥-BL), ␥-valerolactone (␥-VL), and ␥-caprolactone (␥-CL). The influences of the molar ratio and th
