(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given question stated that biodegradable polymers are important in applications such as in dissolving sutures. The compatible polymers that are given to resist degradation can serve as drug delivery systems in implanted devices. Polycaprolactone is stated to degrade slowly in the human body but is very permeable to the contraceptive levonorgestrel. Various questions based on the stated facts are to be answered.

Concept introduction: PCL (Poly(caprolactone) is the polyester with low melting point. It contains ester as a functional group. When PCL reacts with water it result into alcohol and carboxylic acid.

If the monomer unit contains one carboxylic group and one hydroxyl group to form polyester then it is a condensation polymer.

To determine: The levonorgestrel is soluble in PCL.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The products of biodegradation of PCL when reacts with water.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The PCL is an addition or a condensation polymer.
