Polycaprolactone（PCL） is a non-toxic, multifunctional and biodegradable polymer, which is widely used in household goods and pharmaceutical chemical engineering. PCL is obtained mainly through the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone. Cationic catalysts feature high catalytic activity and low toxicity, leading to serving as common catalysts in the ring-opening polymerization reaction. Describes the physical-chemical properties and the synthetic methods of PCL, and elaborates the mechanisms of different cationic catalytic ring-opening polymerization reactions. Focuses on the applications of cationic catalysts in the polymerization of PCL during recent years, and forecasts the future development.
