摘要: Abstract Poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) has many favourable attributes for tissue engineering scaffold applications. A major drawback, however, is its slow degradation rate, typically greater than 3 years. In this study PCL was melt blended with a small percentage of poly(aspartic acid-co-lactide) (PAL) and the behaviour evaluated in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at 37 °C. The addition PAL found to significantly enhance profile PCL. Subsequent investigated terms polymer's mechanical properties, molecular weight (Mw), mass changes thermal characteristics. results indicate that accelerates PCL, 20% loss recorded after just 7 months vitro samples containing 8 wt% PAL. corresponding pure exhibited no over same time period. assessment PCL/PAL composites culture medium absence cells revealed stable pH readings time. SEM studies cell/biomaterial interactions demonstrated biocompatibility C3H10T1/2 all concentrations additive.
