Surface Characterization of Poly (epsilon-caprolactone) at the Air/Water Interface
Surface behavior of poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) have been studied at the air/water interface (A/W). PCL is a hydrophobic and crystalline polyester with a glass transition temperature around -60 degrees centigrade, a melting point around 55 degrees centigrade, excellent biocompatibility, and …

Bioactive Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforced 3D Printable Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) Nanocomposite for Bone Tissue Engineering
Polymeric bone scaffolds are a promising tissue engineering approach for the repair of critical-size bone defects. Porous three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds play an essential role as templates to guide new tissue formation. However, there are critical challenges arising from the poor mechanical …

The design, synthesis and properties of pressure-processable biodegradable block copolymers
In this thesis, biodegradable block copolyesters were specifically designed and synthesized for their susceptibility to pressure-induced mixing. These baroplastic materials are capable of being processed and molded through the application of pressure at temperatures far below those needed in …

Chemical crystallography at the interface of physics, chemistry, and in engineering: structure determination of highly correlated extended solids, main group compounds, coordination complexes, and bioceramics
… tenability, unmasking a high temperature binary polymorph (CoAs), identifying a minor organic product (dimer of two planar fused-carbon ring moieties) that may help mechanistically how to improve synthetic yields, and developing implants from porous, biodegradeable, and mechanically strong …
