Popis: The crystalline of PCL/PLL random copolymers, prepared by anionic polymerisation in the melt and freed of residual monomer(s), vary with composition and are at a minimum for approx. 65 35 mole% composition. The Tg's of the copolymers show a minimum with composition; this effect is discussed in relation to the different co-unit compositions of the crystalline and the amorphous phases. The copolymers are tough thermoplastics with values of yield stress, stress at 100% elongation, and modulus all tending to a minimum for the compositions of lowest crystallinity and highest birefringence. The tensile strengths at break are independent of crystallinity and vary linearly with NH(CH2)5CO unit content.
