Abstract
L-lactide (LLA) homopolymerization and copolymerization with ɛ-caprolactone (CL) in toluene initiated by tetrahydrosalen-supported yttrium borohydride complex were systematically investigated. A possible mechanism of LLA homopolymerization was proposed according to the 1H-NMR result. In addition, PCL-b-PLLA copolymers were synthesized by sequential addition of monomers and their structure was characterized by GPC, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR.
