Synthesis of ACV-PCL
500 mg of ACV was accurately weighed and mixed with
2.25 mL -CL (molar feed ratio=90) for 5 min at room tem-
perature. Sn(Oct)
2
(0.5 wt% of -CL) was then added into
the mixture. The entire solution was placed into a 250-mL
round bottom 3-necked flask. The system was purged with
nitrogen for 1 h and ACV was reacted with -CL at 140
o
C
in the presence of Sn(Oct)
2
for predetermined time intervals.
The crude product was cooled to room temperature, dis-
solved in 15 mL THF, and precipitated by the addition of 35 mL
of cold ethyl ether. The product was dried under a stream of
air for 8 h, washed with deionized water, and then freeze
dried.
GPC Analysis
GPC analyses were performed on a Waters 1525 binary
HPLC pump equipped with a Waters 2414 refractive index
detector (Milford, MA). Waters styragel HR 3 (MW=500-
30,000) and HR 4E (MW=50-100,000) columns were
equipped. Molecular weight calibration was performed with
polystyrene standards that covered a MW range of 400-4.3
10
4
. Analyses were performed in THF at a flow rate of 1
mL/min with an injected volume of 50 L.

FTIR Analysis
FTIR spectra were obtained by a Fourier transform infra-
red spectrometer equipped with a FT/IR-4200 spectrometer
and an IRT-3000 FTIR microscope (Jasco, Tokyo). Spectra
were taken on a silicon substrate via the solvent evaporation
method. Briefly, a small amount of polymeric sample was
added to the silicon substrate and THF was added drop wise
to dissolve the sample and allowed to evaporate. This was
repeated until the entire sample was dissolved and a film
had formed. IR ACV (Si): =3378-3197 (OH stretching), 3290
