1. Preparation of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-b-ε-caprolactone) by Reactive Extrusion and Production of Electrospun Fibrous Mats
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) has been proposed to be a potential candidate to be used as biomaterial. However, its poor processability, high brittleness and rigidity have limited its applicability. Transesterification reactions with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), one of the most promising biomedical materials, emerge as an attractive alternative to improve it

2. Chitosan Imparts Better Biological Properties for Poly(ε-caprolactone) Electrospun Membranes than Dexamethasone
Poly(ε-caprolactone), an aliphatic polyester with biodegradability and cytocompatibility, has been used to create scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes. However, the hydrophobicity and low water absorptivity of poly(ε-caprolactone) reduce cell anchorage on their membranes. Here, poly(ε-caprolactone)-based scaffolds were prepared by electrospinning of

3. Evaluation of oxidative stability of mayonnaise containing poly ε- caprolactone nanoparticles loaded with thyme essential oil
Suspensions of poly ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles loaded with thyme essential oil were prepared as a natural antioxidant in mayonnaise. Mean particle size was 204.9 ± 2.7 and 240.0 ± 5.5 nm respectively for nanoparticles prepared with PCL alone (NP-C) and for those loaded with thyme essential oil (NP-T). The polydispersity index indicated a homogeneo

4. Synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic block copolymers by transesterification for nanoparticle production
Abstract Poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL, triblock) and Poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-(poly(ethylene oxide)−poly(propylene oxide)−poly(ethylene oxide)-poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEO-PPO-PEO-PCL, pentablock) copolymers were synthesized by transesterification with reduction of PCL molecular mass, enabling

5. Tayloring PS/PCL blends: characteristics of processing and properties
Abstract Blends of Polystyrene (PS) and Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) were twin screw extruded, two PSs, with low and high melt flow rate (MFR) were used and their feasibility within PCL investigated by means of torque rheometry, mechanical tests, heat deflection temperature (HDT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM); predictive models were utilized to evalu

6. PCL/ZnO Bio-friendly Films as Food Packaging Material.Thermal and morphological analysis
ABSTRACT Films of Poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) and PCL/Zinc Oxide (ZnO) were obtained by solution processing. Thermal behaviour and morphological structure were analysed by means of Thermogravimetry (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Optical Microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The addition of ZnO to PCL decreased the degradatio

7. Production of fibrous polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering using an automated solution blow spinning system
Abstract Introduction Solution blow spinning (SBS) and airbrushing are two techniques that can be used as alternatives to electrospinning in the production of fibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering (TE). SBS seems particularly interesting due to its versatility, however, it has not been much explored and no automated SBS systems were found in the literat

8. Fabricación de recubrimientos compuestos de Bioglass®/poli(ɛ-capro-lactona) obtenidos por co-deposición electroforética sobre acero inoxidable
ABSTRACT In this work two kinds of "soft coatings" were obtained by co-electrophoretic deposition technique (co-EPD). In all cases a bioglass was used as inorganic phase, and a commercial poly(ɛ-caprolactone), (PCLC), and an anionic synthesized PCL modified with maleic anhydride (PCLS) were used as organic phase. To ensure an adequate coating over the metal

9. Photodegradation Mechanisms on Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)
Photodegradation of PCL was performed exposing injected specimens to ultraviolet radiation (UV-B) up to 9 weeks. Photodegradated PCL specimens were tested by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), mechanical properties, Optical Microscopy (MO) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).Upon exposure decrease in elongation at break

10. Fibrous PCL/PLLA Scaffolds Obtained by Rotary Jet Spinning and Electrospinning
Rotary jet spinning (RJS) and electrospinning are techniques to obtain fibrous scaffolds. RJS is a simple method, which fabricates three-dimensional fibers by exploiting a high-speed rotating nozzle, creating a polymer jet which stretches until solidification, and does not require high voltage. In opposite, electrospinning technique needs the presence of an

11. Improvement of Titanium Corrosion Resistance by Coating with Poly-Caprolactone and Poly-Caprolactone/Titanium Dioxide: Potential Application in Heart Valves
Heart diseases affect part of world population and generally involves the functioning of valves. Valves replacement is the most common treatment and the choice between synthetic or natural/biological implants depends on several factors. Synthetic implants have greater durability, whereas biological ones are more biocompatible. This work proposes the use of p

12. Improved Reactivity in the Ring-Opening Polymerization of ε-Caprolactone with a Trinuclear Titanium(IV) Oxochloroneopentoxide as Initiator
The complex [Ti3(O)(Cl)(ONep)9] and two iron(II)-containing products, [Fe4Cl8(thf)6] and [Fe2Cl3(thf)6][FeCl4], were synthesized by a redox reaction involving [Ti3(OiPr)11][FeCl4] and neopentanol; the structures of compounds [Ti3(O)(Cl)(ONep)9] and [Fe2Cl3(thf)6][FeCl4] have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. Variable-temperature 1H NMR analysis of
