Abstract
A low cost and environmentally benign process for tetrabutyl titanate-controlled ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone at ambient temperature of 10-40 degrees C is introduced affording poly(epsilon-caprolactone) with pre-designed molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distribution.
