Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Jan 14:(2):274-6. doi: 10.1039/b411565a. Epub 2004 Nov 24.

Abstract

The Michael-type addition of aliphatic (co)polyesters onto gamma-acryloyloxy epsilon-caprolactone units is a very straightforward technique of functionalization and grafting, which is tolerant to a variety of functional groups and does not require intermediate protection/deprotection steps.
