In this research, copolymers of poly (D,L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) with 50:50 feed ratio were synthesized by the coordination-insertion ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters at different temperature (130 0C, 150 0C and 200 0C). Both Sn(II)octoate (SnOct2) and isopropanol (iPrOH...
