CAS 24980-41-4

Polycaprolactone

Description:

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable polyester with the CAS number 24980-41-4, known for its versatile properties and applications. It is synthesized through the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone, resulting in a linear aliphatic polymer. PCL exhibits a low melting point, typically around 60°C, and has a glass transition temperature of approximately -60°C, which contributes to its flexibility and processability. The polymer is characterized by its excellent mechanical properties, including good tensile strength and elongation at break, making it suitable for various applications, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and 3D printing. PCL is also soluble in a range of organic solvents, such as chloroform and dichloromethane, which facilitates its processing into films and fibers. Its biodegradability is a significant advantage, as it can break down in natural environments, making it an attractive option for sustainable materials. Overall, PCL's unique combination of properties allows it to be utilized in both industrial and biomedical fields.

Polycaprolactone

CAS: 24980-41-4

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable, hydrophobic and semi-crystalline polyester that can be synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone monomer using a variety of anionic, cationic and co-ordination catalysts. It’s used in drug delivery systems due to its high permeability, excellent biocompatibility and full excretion ability once bio-resorbed. It’s suitable for long-term and controlled release of drugs due to its slower biodegradation in comparison to other polymers.
