Abstract PCL-OX (Polycaprolactone Oxalate) was reported as a fast degradable PCL and is a promising biodegradable material that solves the slow degradation problem of PCL over 2-3 years. In particular, degradation of the polymer was accelerated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore it can be used in a variety of biomedical applications where fast biodegradable polymers are needed. In continuation of the research, poly(carprolactone-hydroquinone) Oxalate (CQX) was synthesized by condensation polymerization using PCL diol 530, hydroquinone, and oxalyl chloride. Degradation of CQX was investigated as a function of ROS concentration.
