This research reports the next generation of solid-state triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) host material (polycaprolactone, PCL) for highly efficient, processable, and biocompatible TTA-UC.

Objectives There is strong current interest in the use of biodegradable scaffolds in combination with bone growth factors as a valuable alternative to the current gold standard autograft in spinal fusion surgery (Yong et al. 2013). Here we report on 6vs 12month data set evaluating the longitudinal performance of a CaP coated polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold loaded with recombinant human bone mor...

Hybrid molecular brushes (HMBs), or bottlebrush polymers, are polymeric constructs containing a linear backbone and side chains with different chemical characteristics. Hybrid-block graft copolymers (HCPs) similar to traditional HMBs, except their consists of more than one polymer. We developed facile method for the synthesis family amphiphilic, biodegradable HCPs composed two blocks: hydrophil...

Background and purpose: Polycaprolactone nanocapsules incorporated with triazole derivatives in the presence absence of selenium nanoparticles were prepared evaluated as antiproli­ferative anticancer agents. using emulsion technique. Experimental approach: The capsules characterized FT-IR, TEM DLS measurements. synthesized triazo­lopyrimidine derivative encap­sulated polycaprolactone was tested...

An anisotropic biocompatible composite PCL-PTFE film was used to guide smooth muscle cell outgrowth along defined directions.

Cosmetic patches have recently been developed as skin products for personal care owing to rapid advances in the technology of delivery of active ingredients, moisture, and adhesiveness to skin. Alginate and Spirulina are typical marine resources used in cosmetic products. This research involved the development of a Spirulina extract-impregnated alginate nanofiber cosmetic patch supported by a p...

Tissue engineering holds enormous challenges for materials science, wherein the ideal scaffold to be used is expected to be biocompatible, biodegradable and possess mechanical and physical properties that are suitable for target application. In this context, we have prepared degradable polyesters in different ratios by a simple polycondensation technique with citric acid and polycaprolactone tr...

Microfibers are becoming increasingly important for biomedical applications such as regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. We have used a microfluidic approach to create polycaprolactone (PCL) microfibers in a controlled manner. Through the variations of the sheath fluid flow rate and PCL concentration in the core solution, the morphology of the microfibers and their cross-sections can b...
