## Abstract **Summary:** The title polymers, in which both the stem and the graft are biodegradable, have been synthesized for the first time in a one‐pot, lipase‐catalyzed, graft‐polymerization reaction (in bulk, at 70 °C) of __β__‐butyrolactone (__β__‐BL) and __ε__‐caprolactone (__ε__‐CL) onto ch
## Abstract Thiolated chitosan (TCS) was proposed as a promising candidate as scaffold material for tissue engineering. However, a continuous exploration of such material as a three‐dimensional (3D) scaffold with controllable design of microstructure as well as mechanical strength was necessitated.
