Research Summary

Caprolactone, also known as 1,2-epoxyhexane or hexanolide, is a cyclic ester compound with the chemical formula C6H10O2. It is a colorless liquid with a slightly sweet odor. Caprolactone is a versatile monomer that is primarily used as a building block in the synthesis of various polymers and resins. It is commonly polymerized to form polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable and biocompatible polyester. PCL has a wide range of applications in fields such as medical devices, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and 3D printing. Due to its low melting point and flexibility, caprolactone-based polymers can be easily processed into films, fibers, coatings, and other forms. Additionally, caprolactone is employed as a reactive diluent or modifier in adhesives, coatings, and sealants to enhance their performance properties.
