Poly(hexamethylene terephthalate-co-caprolactone) copolymers: Influence of cycle size on ring-opening polymerization

Poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) was cyclo-depolymerized in solution by heating to yield a fraction of cyclic oligomers of hexamethylene terephthalate (c(HT)2-5) with a content around to 95% in dimer to pentamer. Ring-opening polymerization in the melt of c(HT)2-5, either neat or in mixtures with ε...
