Abstract
Graft poly(ε-caprolactone)s (PCLs) with high graft density were synthesized by using random copolymer poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (EVOH) to initiate ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone, with and without cocatalyst Sn(Oct)2. The graft copolymer were characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR. The solution property and the crystallization behavior were also investigated.
