This study reports on the cellular uptake of folate tethered micelles using a branched skeleton of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(ε-caprolactone). The chemical structures of the copolymers were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Doxorubicin (DOX) was utilized as an anticancer drug. The highest drug loading efficiencies o...

A double template method to fabricate poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) hierarchical patterned nanowires with highly ordered nano- and microscaled topography was developed in this study. The topography of PCL film with a patterned nanowire surface can be easily and well controlled by changing the template and melting time of PCL film on the templates. The surface morphology, water contact angle, prote...

The study addresses the growth of new wild-type strain Cupriavidus necator IBP/SFU-1 and synthesis poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB-co-4HB) on media containing fructose three different precursors 4HB (ε-caprolactone 1,4-butanediol 1,6-hexanediol). It was found that ε-caprolactone is best precursor for P(3HB-co-4HB) copolymers. By varying concentration number doses added into ...

Electrospun non-woven poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) microfiber meshes are described as biodegradable, mechanically robust, and reusable polymeric oil sorbents capable of selectively retrieving oil from simulated oil spills in both fresh and seawater scenarios. Hydrophobic PCL meshes have >99.5% (oil over water) oil selectivity and oil absorption capacities of ~10 grams of oil per gram of sorbent m...
