Poly e-caprolactone (PCL) and poly D, L lactic acid (PLA) are both polymers which have hcon shown to degrade in biological systems. The L-form of lactic acid is the naturally occurring form, while the D-form is man-made (see Figures 3a-b). Their main uses include fabrication into capsules for drug delivery purposes and extrusion into filaments for sutures, but for this project they were cast as films.

Only a few publications deal with ABC triblock copolymers where two of the blocks are able to crystallize. The systems that have been investigated include PS-b-PE-b-PCL [94,98], PE-b-PS-6-PCL [94], PS-fc-PEO-fo-PCL [30,134-136] and PE-fo-poly(ethylene-propylene)-fr-PEO [101,119] (see also Table 1).
