Poly(e-caprolactone) has been widely studied in the biomedicine field due to its high biodegradability,biocompatibility as well as drug permeability.The synthesis of poly(e-caprolactone) has been achieved by ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone effectually.In this paper,the development of ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone in the presence of coordination catalysts was reviewed.
