“…The polymerization reaction was carried out with L-lactide and ε-Caprolactone monomers (Kawasaki, 1998;Nijenhuis, 1992;Tasaka, 2001). The monomers/comonomers and tetraphenyl tin initiator (0.3 mol% versus total monomers) were charged on a dried ε two necked flask.…”

Random copolymerizations of L-Lactide with ε-Caprolactone by ring opening polymerization reactions were carried out. A number of copolymers were formed and observed that any composition of copolymer can be formed by changing the feed ratio of the respective monomers. The effect of temperature and time in copolymerization reaction were studied. For their characterization, NMR, IR, DSC and GPC were measured. The stereo-effect of the lactic acid based biodegradable polymers and copolymers for improve thermo-mechanical properties were studied. The obtained copolymers also show stereo-effect like homopolymer. The biodegradability of obtained polymers, copolymers and stereocomplex were studied in three different biodegradation methods; e.g., Enzymatic method, Composting method and Activated Sludge treatment method; and compared to each other.

“…This globular architecture has a soft segment on the interior with a more crystalline outer sphere. Hyperbranched polyesters of M n ≈ 10 4 Da were prepared by copolymerizing polylactide with an alcohol -containing lactone as a latent AB 2 monomer [76] . This dramatically changed the material properties of the polymer with reduced crystallinity and lowered glass transition temperature due to the branching.…”

Recent progress in the chemical synthesis of novel aliphatic polyesters via ring‐opening polymerization of functional cyclic (di)esters are reviewed in this article. Syntheses of these functional aliphatic polyesters are being classified into three groups according to the structure of the cyclic monomers: (i) cyclic diesters, (ii) morpholine‐2,5‐dione derivatives, and (iii) cyclic esters. Progress in the synthesis and polymerization of monomers in each category is reported with an emphasis on controlled synthesis. The recent achievements have enabled the synthesis of a variety of novel aliphatic polyesters, including hydrophilic, halogenated, and unsaturated polyesters.
