Abstract
Polymers and copolymers having one or more aliphatic polyester groups or blocks. For example, the aliphatic polyester groups or blocks can be derived from a caprolactone such as, for example, ε-caprolactone. The polymers and copolymers can have desirable properties such as, for example, improved solubility and improved thermal properties.
Claims12
1) A copolymer having the following structure:
- PEA-APE or APE-PEA-APE,
- wherein PEA is a PEA block and APE is an aliphatic polyester block, and the PEA block has terminal amine groups and a molecular weight of 3,000 g/mol to 10,000 g/mol.
