Controlling the crystallinity and solubility of functional PCL with efficient post-polymerisation modification
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: Varying the size of an alkyl side-chain group, installed by thiol–ene addition of alkylthiols to poly(ε-allyl caprolactone), the semi-crystallinity and lipophilicity of functional PCLs could be modulated to achieve divergent physico-chemical properties.
