Properties of Electrospun Nanofibers of Multi-Block Copolymers of [Poly–caprolactone-b- poly(tetrahydrofuran-co–caprolactone)]m Synthesized by Janus Polymerization
Novel biodegradable multiblock copolymers of [PCL-b-P(THF-co-CL)]m with PCL fractions of 53.3 and 88.4 wt % were prepared by Janus polymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Their electrospun mats were obtained with optimized parameters containing bead-free nanofibers whose diameters were between 290 and 520 nm. The mechanical properties of the nanofiber scaffolds were mea...
متن کاملEncapsulation and Controlled Release of Heparin from Electrospun Poly(L-Lactide-co-ε-Caprolactone) Nanofibers.
Poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) nanofibers with heparin incorporated were successfully fabricated by coaxial electrospinning. The morphologies of electrospun nanofibers were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a significant decrease in fiber diameter was observed with increasing heparin concentration. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicated that coaxial elec...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Nanoparticles Using Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)- Poly(ε-caprolactone) and Poly(ethylene glycol)-Poly(ε-caprolactone) Block Copolymers with Thermosensitive Function
Thermosensitive nanoparticles were prepared via the self-assembly of two different poly(ε-caprolactone)-based block copolymers of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PNPCL) and poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEGCL). The self-aggregation and thermosensitive behaviors of the mixed nanoparticles were investigated using 1H-NMR, turbidimetry, differential scanning micr...
متن کاملCrystallization of Poly(ε-caprolactone) in Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Poly(ε-caprolactone) Blend
The crystallization behavior of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) in a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/PCL blend as well as on a highly orientated PVDF substrate was studied by means of POM, DSC and TEM. The results show that the miscibility of the PVDF/PCL blend and the spherulitic morphology of PVDF varies with the blend ratio. For all the compositions, the pre-existing PVDF crystals accelerated th...
متن کاملReinforcing Poly(ε-caprolactone) Nanofibers with Cellulose Nanocrystals
We studied the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNXs) obtained after acid hydrolysis of ramie cellulose fibers to reinforce poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers. Chemical grafting with low-molecular-weight PCL diol onto the CNXs was carried out in an attempt to improve the interfacial adhesion with the fiber matrix. Grafting was confirmed via infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses....
