Preparation of Biodegradable Polycaprolactone/Poly (ethylene glycol)/Polycaprolactone (PCEC) Nanoparticles

Drug Delivery, 2008
Biodegradable polyetherester copolymer (PCL/PEG/PCL, PCEC) was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone initiated by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The PCEC nanoparticles were prepared by solvent diffusion method or w/o/w double emulsion method. The obtained particles' morphology was observed on scanning electron microscopy, and

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells reinforce polycaprolactone grafts

Frontiers in Immunology
Successful application of advanced engineered materials in osteoplasty requires a biological understanding of the recipient reaction. The immune system acts like a double-edged sword by maintaining targeted tissue and rejecting grafts. Nevertheless, even
