© 2014 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary. The bulk ring-opening polymerizations (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) initiated by synthesized tributyltin n-butoxide (nBu3SnOnBu) initiator were conducted at 120 °C and the molecular mass and polydispersity index of poly(ε-CL), PCL, were determined. The coo...
