Abstract

See full text

A process for the production of biodegradable aliphatic polyester particles by (co)polymerizing 2-oxetanone or a mixture containing at least 80% by weight of 2-oxetanone and up to 20% by weight of a cyclic ester or cyclic ether other than 2-oxetanone in the presence of a polymerization initiator supported on a carrier in which an ion polymerization initiator is supported on poly(2-oxetanone) in a liquid medium having a solubility parameter of about 15 to about 18 MPa.sup.1/2 and being capable of dissolving 2-oxetanone, and in a polymerizing apparatus having an internal surface formed of a material which is free of polarity or whose polarity is very small, to form a particulate aliphatic polyester; and a biodegradable aliphatic polyester melt-extrusion film, which comprises the biodegradable aliphatic polyester having a weight average molecular weight of 20,000 to 2,000,000, and having a water vapor transmission rate of 300 to 700 g/m.sup.2.24 hours.25 .mu.m and heat-fusing strength of 500 to 5,000 gf/15 mm.
