Polyester Materials in Biomedical Applications

Effects of polycaprolactone viscosity on morphology, mechanical properties, water uptake, and cellular viability in poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)/polycaprolactone blends for tissue engineering

“…The study of polyester-based systems is particularly important for generating materials for the tissue engineering field due to many properties that include high biocompatibility, intracorporeal biodegradability, and ability to mediate protein and cell deposition events on its surface. 34,35 Due to these properties, these systems have been evaluated for many applications, such as skin regeneration systems, 36,37 peripheral nerves, 38,39 cardiac stents, 40,41 and mainly bone tissue. [42][43][44] In the context of bone tissue regeneration, polymers like PHB stand out as good candidates for obtaining regeneration scaffolds.…”
