Ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone initiated by tin(II) octoate/n-hexanol: DSC isoconversional kinetics analysis and polymer synthesis

The kinetics of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) initiated by 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mol% of stannous(II) octoate/n-hexanol (Sn(Oct)2/n-HexOH) wase successfully studied by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at heating rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20 °C/min. The DSC...
