摘要：

Copolymers which can be fabricated into films, fibers and structural shapes are prepared by copolymerizing an optically active lactide, i.e., L-(-)-lactide, and epsilon caprolactone in the presence of a tin ester of a carboxylic acid. A copolymer prepared from 75 parts by weight of L-(-)- lactide and 25 parts by weight of epsilon caprolactone is a thermoplastic elastomer. A copolymer prepared from 90 parts by weight of L-(-)-lactide and 10 parts by weight of epsilon caprolactone is a rigid, clear, thermoplastic solid.
