Thermal degradation and morphology of Polymer blends comprising Poly(ε-caprolactone) and epoxidized natural rubber with addition of phenol as catalyst / Kamilah Binti Mohd. Alwai

Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is an aliphatic polyester. The PCL chains with weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 4,200 g mol-1 are relatively short and contains terminal hydroxyl group. In blends with epoxidized natural rubber with 50% epoxidation level (ENR) (Mw = 700,000 g mol-1) as well as the a...
