Caprolactone Monomers

Caprolactone monomers typically appear as clear, colorless liquids that are easily polymerized. Key features include their ability to produce materials with excellent flexibility, toughness, and biodegradability. Main applications of caprolactone monomers include medical devices, drug delivery systems, and packaging materials. 

Alternatives to caprolactone monomers include other biodegradable monomers such as lactide and glycolide. Sub-types of caprolactone monomers include ε-caprolactone and its derivatives.
