This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of a block copolymer of L-lactide (LL) and ε-caprolactone (CL) and its subsequent melt spinning into a monofilament fiber. The synthesis reaction was a two-step process. In the first step, an approximately 50:50 mol% random copolymer, P(LL-co-C...
