A novel segmented polyurethane/clay (PU/clay) nanocomposite based on poly(caprolactone), diphenylmethane diisocyanate, butanediol, and poly(caprolactone)/ clay prepolymer was synthesized as evidenced by FTIR and X-ray diffraction studies. Poly(caprolactone)/clay (PCL/clay) prepolymer was first synth

## Abstract Biodegradable polymers have attracted considerable attention because of their use as substitutes for nonbiodegradable polymers in disposable commodity applications. Poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) was blended with thermoplastic starch prepared from regular corn starch in PCL/starch ratios of
Acrylamide was graft polymerized onto the surface of a biodegradable semicrystalline polyester, poly(-caprolactone). Electron beam irradiation at a dose of 5 Mrad was used to generate initiating species in the polyester. The degradation in vitro at pH 7.4 and 37°C in a phosphate buffer solution was
