Polycaprolactone Degradation

Polycaprolactone Degradation is the hydrolytic and enzymatic breakdown of polycaprolactone, a biodegradable aliphatic polyester, into progressively smaller molecular fragments through ester bond cleavage, distinguished by its slow degradation rate and dependence on environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, and microbial activity.
