Synthesis, processing and tensile testing of a poly(l -lactide-co-caprolactone) monofilament fiber for use as an absorbable surgical suture
© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. A poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone), P(LL-co-CL), 75:25 mol % copolymer was synthesized via the bulk ring-opening copolymerization of l-lactide (LL) and ε-caprolactone (CL) at 130 °C for 48 hrs. The P(LL-co-CL) copolymer obtained was characteriz...
