Synthesis and Properties of Modified Biodegradable Polymers Based on Caprolactone
Abstract
<jats:p>In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of two polycaprolactone-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-CL) copolymers with biodegradable properties are reported. A comparative study was carried out using an aminopropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane macro-initiator (APDMS) with two different molecular weights. The copolymers (PDMS-CL-1 and PDMS-CL-2) were obtained by ring-opening polymerization of ɛ-caprolactone using APDMS as initiators and stannous 2-ethylhexanoate as a catalyst. The copolymer’s structures were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectra, and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDX). Surface morphology was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The hydrophobic properties of the copolymers were demonstrated by the water contact angle and water vapor sorption capacity. Additionally, biological tests were conducted on San Marzano type tomato plants (Lypercosium esculentum) to assess the synthesized copolymers’ susceptibility to the environment in terms of biological stability and metabolic activity. The biodegradation of PDMS-CL-1 and PDMS-CL-2 copolymers does not have a dangerous effect on the metabolic activity of plants, which makes it a convenient product in interaction with the environment.</jats:p>
