Poly( 1-caprolactone) -poly(ethylene glycol) -poly( 1-caprolactone) triblock copolymers (PECL) covering a wide range of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) lengths were synthesized with alkali metal alkoxide derivatives of poly(ethylene glycol). The effects of various factors, such as amount of the initiato

✦ Synopsis
Poly(D,L-lactide) -poly(1-caprolactone) -poly(ethylene glycol) -poly(1-caprolactone) -poly (D,L-lactide) block copolymer (PLA-PCL-PEG-PCL-PLA) was prepared by copolymerization of 1-caprolactone (1-CL) and D,L-lactide (D,L-LA) initiated by potassium poly(ethylene glycol)ate in THF at 25ЊC. The copolymers with different composition were synthesized by adjusting the mole ratio of reaction mixture. The resulted copolymers were characterized by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, IR, DSC, and GPC. Efforts to prepare copolymers with the corresponding structure of PCL-PLA-PEG-PLA-PCL and D,L-lactide/ 1-caprolactone random copolymers were not successful.

## SYNOPSIS Blends of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared in a corotating twin screw miniextruder (40 rpm, 200"). It was attempted to prepare multiblock copolymers by allowing a controlled number of transesterification reactions. Various catalysts (n-Bu,SnOMe, Sn(Oc
Poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-lactide) diblock and triblock copolymers were prepared by ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether or with poly(ethylene glycol) in the presence of stannous octoate.

Highly random copolymers of c-caprolactone (CL) and D,L-lactide (LA) were synthesized by a new catalyst system, rare earth chloride-propylene oxide (PO) system. In the presence of propylene oxide, all rare earth chlorides tested are highly effective for the copolymerization. The influences of reacti
