POLYCAPROLACTONE

Uses

polycaprolactone is a synthetic polymer that acts as a suspending agent.

Uses

Polycaprolactone may find use as an extrusion aid, die lubricant, mold release, pigment and filler dispersion aid and polyester segments in urethanes and block polyesters.

Uses

• PCL loaded with antibiotics may be used to treat infections of the respiratory tract, like tuberculosis.
• Investigations were carried out based upon phenotypic responses of human bone marrow mesenchymal cells (hBMSCs) for different ratio of chitosan/ polycaprolactone (PCL) blends.
• PCL/biomedical ceramic materials have been studied for possible osteo tissue regeneration.
• Action of PCL/graded insulin/beta-5 glycerophosphate concentrations on osteochondral tissue formation through adipose-derived stromal cell differentiation.
• Other general uses include:extrusion aid, die lubricant, mold release, pigment and filler dispersion aid and polyester segments in urethanes and block polyesters.

General Description
