Abstract
Functionalized poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s have been easily prepared b y using a new heterogeneous catalytic system consisting of aluminium a lcoholate supported on porous silica and the corresponding alcohol in excess. The polymers have been fully characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Oligo(caprolactone-co-ethylene oxide)s have been synthe sized by the same catalytic system. The diad comonomer distribution as obtained by H-1 NMR suggests a blocky structure. In addition, low deg rees of crystallization have been determined by means of DSC.
