Understanding Polycaprolactone Degradation: Molecular Mechanisms and Implications for Biomedical Device Design
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a widely used biodegradable polyester in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and temporary implant design. While its favorable processability, biocompatibility, and low melting temperature are highly advantageous, its slow and condition-dependent degradation remains a major limitation for preci...
