Biodegradable lactone copolymers. I. Characterization and mechanical behavior of ?-caprolactone and lactide copolymers
Abstract
Various homopolymers, copolymers, and terpolymers based on 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA), n-butyl methacrylate (nBMA), and acrylic acid (AA) were synthesized using the well-known free-radical polymerization technique. The polymers were analyzed by 1HNMR and IR spectroscopy to identify and confirm the presence of the monomers in the copolymer and also to check the absence of monomer impurities. A water-vapor transmission rate (WVTR) study of the synthesized adhesives coated on nonwoven polyester fabric was undertaken using the desiccant method. The water-vapor permeability of the various copolymers changed with the change in monomer concentration. The higher the AA content in the copolymer, the higher was the permeability. The trend shown by various copolymers and terpolymers of 2-EHA with respect to their WVTR is 2-EHA-co-AA > 2-EHA-co-nBMA > 2-EHA-co-AA-co-nBMA. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“Although these systems have been previously evaluated 30 -35 and morphological studies have been previously performed by SAXS, 24,27,28 a detailed study of the crystallization kinetics and morphology of both blocks, and their dependence with composition in a wide range has not been reported, as far as we are aware.”

“However, many authors observed that it exists a period, especially for amorphous PLA, in the earlier stages of degradation, for which Young's modulus and tensile strength remain constant before decreasing (Tsuji, 2002; Karjalainen et al., 1996; Leroy et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
