## Abstract Hexaarmed star‐shaped hydroxyl‐terminated poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) was successfully synthesized via the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone (CL) with hexakis[__p__‐(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]cyclotriphosphazene initiator and stannous octoate catalyst in bulk. The star‐shaped PCL
