ABSTRACT = {The synthesis of poly(epichlorohydrin-g-ε-caprolactone) [poly(ECH-g-CL)] graft copolymers were
carried out by use of a “click” chemistry reaction to graft poly(ε-caprolactone) propargyl (PCLpropargyl) to poly(epichlorohydrin) azido (PECH-N<sub>3</sub>
). For this purpose, PECH-N<sub>3</sub>
 was synthesized
by the reaction of poly(epichlorohydrin) and sodium azide. Then PCL-propargyl was obtained by
the reaction of poly(ε-caprolactone) [PCL] and propargyl chloride. By reacting PECH-N<sub>3</sub> and
PCL-propargyl, graft copolymers were obtained. The primary parameters, such as time and
concentration, that influenced the reactions were assessed. The characterization of products
was accomplished by using multiple instruments and methods including <sup>1</sup>H-NMR, <sup>13</sup>C-NMR, FTIR, GPC, DSC, TGA, and fractional precipitation [non–solvent (petroleum ether, mL) / solvent
(THF, mL)] techniques.},
