Synthesis and Electrospinning of Polycaprolactone from an Aluminium-Based Catalyst: Influence of the Ancillary Ligand and Initiators on Catalytic Efficiency and Fibre Structure

In the present study, we investigated the catalytic performance of a 2,2′-methylenebis(6-<i>tert</i>-butyl-4-methylphenol) (MDBP)–aluminium complex for the ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of ε-caprolactone in combination with various alcohols as initiators. Three different alcohols wer...
