© 2019 Elsevier B.V. The kinetics of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) initiated by tin(II) chloride (SnCl2), dibutyltin(IV) dichloride (Bu2SnCl2) and tributyltin(IV) chloride (Bu3SnCl) was successfully investigated by non-isothermal DSC technique. The steric effect of butyl...
