^a T_m and ΔH_m out of parenthesis, and T_c and ΔH_m in parenthesis were determined in the heating and cooling runs of DSC, respectively.

^b Crystallinity χ_c was calculated using the equation of χ_c=[ΔH_m/(φ_PCLΔH_m^c)]×100%, where ΔH_m^c of PCL is 135 J/g [22] and φ_PCL is 95.7% and 98.1% [6] for crosslinked PCLF1250 and PCLF2000, respectively.
