“…Polylactide (PLA) and poly( ε -caprolactone) (PCL) have received a lot of attention over the last few years due to their biodegradability and attractive physical and mechanical properties [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The microstructures, physical-chemical properties, possible applications, and synthesis methods of these polymeric materials have been discussed in detail in a number of review papers, for example, [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The common method for the synthesis of PLA and PCL is the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of corresponding monomers, e.g., ε -caprolactone ( ε -CL) and lactide (LA) monomers, with the use of structurally well-defined metal complexes that contain an initiating nucleophile, most commonly the alkoxy group OR, and a variety of ancillary ligands [ 2 , 5 , 25 , 26 ].…”
