Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a new material used in orthopedics. It is characterized by an endothermic melting peak at about 61‡C, an endothermic decomposition peak at about 380‡C and an exothermic peak at about 453‡C. These three observed phenomena and the corresponding thermodynamic data made it easily possible to identify PCL among the other polymers previously examined with Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA).
