Polyester elastomers are soft, biodegradable and biocompatible and are commonly used in
various biomedical applications, especially in tissue engineering. These synthetic polyesters …

Typical applications and research areas of polymeric biomaterials include tissue
replacement, tissue augmentation, tissue support, and drug delivery. In many cases the …

Growing demand for tissues and organs for transplantation and the inability to meet this
need using by autogeneic (from the host) or allogeneic (from the same species) sources has …

Nerve tubes, guides, or conduits are a promising alternative for autologous nerve graft
repair. The first biodegradable empty single lumen or hollow nerve tubes are currently …

Abstract Poly (ε-caprolactones)(PCLs) belong to the first generation of synthetic aliphatic
polyesters. Their biodegradability motivated their extensive exploration as resorbable …

Biodegradable polymers provided the opportunity to explore beyond conventional drug
delivery and turned out to be the focus of current drug delivery. In spite of availability of …

Polymerization of high internal phase emulsions (polyHIPEs) is a relatively new method for
the production of high-porosity scaffolds. The tunable architecture of these polyHIPE foams …

Electrically conductive polymer composites composed of polycaprolactone fumarate and
polypyrrole (PCLF–PPy) have been developed for nerve regeneration applications. Here we …

Infections are frequent and very undesired occurrences after orthopedic procedures;
furthermore, the growing concern caused by the rise in antibiotic resistance is progressively …

Bioactive scaffolds with polymer and nanostructured bioactive glass-based composites are
promising materials for regenerative applications in consequence of close mimics of natural …
