Ring-opening copolymerization of (R,S)-β-butyrolactone and ε-caprolactone using sodium hydride as initiator

Copolymers of racemic β-butyrolactone ((R,S)-BL) and ε-caprolactone (CL), were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization initiated by sodium hydride (NaH). The initiator exhibited a satisfactory catalytic activity, producing copolymers whose yields are greatly influenced by the fe...
