Polycaprolactone was synthesized using ring opening polymerization process by utilizing a novel lipase enzyme from Aspergillus niger sp. D-optimal design in DoE was used to optimize the reaction parameters for the synthesis of polycaprolactone. The variables selected were temperature (30–70 °C), time (30–150 min), mixing speed (100–500 rpm) and enzyme volume (5–9 mL). The response variable chosen is the number average molecular weight, Mn. Experimental results obtained was used to explain the interactions between parameters and responses were analyzed and validated. The result shows a good agreement with a minimum error between the actual and predicted values as the error is only 2.35. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
