Polymer Chemical Compatability Question
Hey all, I'm in the middle of a failure analysis here and am left with the question of polycaprolactone and chemical compatability with ethanol. Looking around in my usual sites I found no useful information. Can anyone out there give me a hand?

Have you checked out this?
www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0960-1317/10/1/311
Edit:
this article seems to hint, that lack of hydrophilicity is an issue for biological applications. But since ethanol can swing both ways, I guess you'd need something more quantitative.

Thanks for the link Prebe!
Yes the problem with ethanol is that it can swing both ways. I am talking the client into letting me perform some experiments to check out what happens. It looks like one layer of the composite completely dissolved and the only change that was made was the switch from an ester based additive to ethanol. I'm not sure of the actual % of ethanol present either which makes things tricky.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
