Nanofibrous composite from polycaprolactone‐polyethylene glycol‐aloe vera as a promising scaffold for bone repairing

Abstract: Recently, herbal extract-loaded nanofibers have been developed using different types of components for tissue engineering applications. In this study, nanofibrous webs are fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1:1 mass ratio blend incorporated with different amounts of aloe vera extract through electrospinning. Combining the potential therapeutic

“…3 B, the water contact angle for PCL is about 120°, proposing the very hydrophobic nature of the PCL polymer-based nanofibers. This can be explained by the presence of numerous hydrophobic groups in the structure of the PCL 13 . Contrarily, addition of the PEG in the structure of the PCL-PEG resulted in reduction of the water contact angel to 70° which can be explained by the hydrophilic nature of the PEG polymer 13 .…”

Contrarily, addition of the PEG in the structure of the PCL-PEG resulted in reduction of the water contact angel to 70° which can be explained by the hydrophilic nature of the PEG polymer 13 . Regards, a physical crosslinking through the intra-molecular interaction between functional groups of PCL and PEG leads to the integrity of the scaffold in aqueous media.…”

“…Plant extracts interact with each other through different biochemical pathways to achieve anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, and analgesic effects. Natural plant extracts are a rich treasure trove [ 143 ]. Countless researchers have worked to reveal the relationship and secrets of natural resources such as plants, animals, and even minerals to human health.…”

“…Riaz et al [ 25 ] introduced PEG into the preparation of PCL nanofibers, which not only reduced the fiber diameter but also improved the crystallinity and wettability of PCL nanofibers. Dehghan et al [ 26 ] prepared PCL/PEG/aloe vera nanofiber scaffolds, and osteoblast-like cells showed good penetration, growth, and proliferation capabilities on them.…”
