Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co- εcaprolactone) diblock copolymers, designated as MPEG-b-PDLLGCL, with different MPEG block lengths and DLL:G:CL ratios were synthesized via ring-opening polymerization in bulk using MPEG and stannous octoate as the initiating system....
