Abstract

Biodegradable polycaprolactone was prepared by ring-opening polymerization in presence of ionic liquids as efficient, inexpensive, nontoxic, and easily handled acid catalysts. The resulting polymer exhibited good yield and inherent viscosity between 0.10 and 0.18 dL/g. The chemical structure of obtained polymer was verified by the ¹H-NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra. In continuation, the obtained polymer was applied to improve quality level and mechanical properties and also to reduce the hydrophilic properties of the starch, so the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone was investigated in the presence of starch hydroxyl groups as initiator and ionic liquid as catalyst. The obtained starch-grafted-polycaprolactone was verified by ¹H-NMR, FT-IR spectra, and field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis.
