Growth of Poly(ε-caprolactone) Crystals in Langmuir Films at the Air/water Interface

DENDRITIC GROWTH OF POLY(ε-CAPROLACTONE) CRYSTALS FROM COMPATIBLE BLENDS WITH POLY(t-BUTYL ACRYLATE) AT THE AIR/WATER INTERFACE

Crystallization of Poly(ε-caprolactone) in Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Poly(ε-caprolactone) Blend

The crystallization behavior of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) in a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/PCL blend as well as on a highly orientated PVDF substrate was studied by means of POM, DSC and TEM. The results show that the miscibility of the PVDF/PCL blend and the spherulitic morphology of PVDF varies with the blend ratio. For all the compositions, the pre-existing PVDF crystals accelerated th...

Poly(Trimethylene Carbonate-co-ε-Caprolactone) Promotes Axonal Growth

Mammalian central nervous system (CNS) neurons do not regenerate after injury due to the inhibitory environment formed by the glial scar, largely constituted by myelin debris. The use of biomaterials to bridge the lesion area and the creation of an environment favoring axonal regeneration is an appealing approach, currently under investigation. This work aimed at assessing the suitability of th...
