Copolymers of c-CL/L-LA and c-CLIDL-LA were allowed to age in a buffer solution of pH 7 at 23 and 37°C. The effects of time and temperature on the rate of hydrolysis were examined by various techniques including weighing (water absorption and weight loss), SEC (molecular weight and polydispersity),

Copolymers of c-caprolactone and L-lactide (c-CL/L-LA) and c-caprolactone and DL-lactide (c-CL/DL-LA) were synthesized with compositions 80/20,60/40, and 40/60 (wt % in feed). The polymerization temperature was 140°C and Sn(I1)octoate was used as a catalyst. The effect of the comonomer ratio on the
## Abstract Biodegradable copolymers were prepared by ring‐opening polymerization of sequentially added __ε__‐caprolactone and DL‐lactide in the presence of ethylene glycol or poly(ethylene glycol), using zinc metal as catalyst. Polymerization was performed in bulk and yielded block copolymers with
