Ring-Opening (ROP) versus Ring-Expansion (REP) Polymerization of ε‑Caprolactone To Give Linear or Cyclic Polycaprolactones
Macromolecular engineering of cyclic
polycaprolactones has been
carried out by a ring-expansion procedure catalyzed by a series of
alkyl-organoaluminum initiators. The single-site nature of the initiators
allows a very well-controlled macrolactonization process to give moderate
to high molecular weight cyclic polymers with narrow polydispersities.
Cyclic architectures are supported by a combination of techniques
such as viscosity measurements, NMR, and MALDI-TOF MS analysis
