Application

Polycaprolactone diol is a biodegradable, ε-caprolactone-based polymer for use in biomedical research applications. Due to the synthetic method used, this material features two terminal hydroxyl units, allowing it to be readily functionalized or used in the synthesis of more complex polymers (e.g. polyurethanes) for applications such as shape-memory materials. Due to the high aliphatic content and molecular weight, polycaprolactone diol features increased stability in vivo and high Tg, respectively.
