This study presents a novel green method for copolymerizing 1,3,5-trioxane (TOX) with ε caprolactone (CL). This technique uses Maghnite-H+ (Mag-H+) as a bulk green catalyst. Various techniques were used to confirm the structure of the resulting copolymer. The influencing factors on the copolymerization reaction were also studied. The results show that the best copolymer yield (46.3 %) was obtained via bulk copolymerization at a temperature of 353 K for a reaction time of 8 h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
