Reaktionsschritte

Glycolide (0.13 moles) was mixed with ε-caprolactone (1.18) and a catalytic amount of stannous octoate (0.262 mole) and 1-decanol (3.275 mole). The system was heated to 170° C. and was stirred at this temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction was then cooled to 120° C. Glycolide (0.65 moles) and dl-lactide (0.52 moles) were added to the prepolymer. After melting the second charge, the system was heated to 170° C. and was stirred at this temperature for 6.5 hours. At the conclusion of the reaction, the unreacted monomer was removed by heating at 130° C. under reduced pressure for 1.5 hours. The resulting polymer was characterized by DSC (for Tm), solution viscosity (for molecular dimensions), IR and NMR (for chemical composition).
