Preparation and Characterization of Poly(ethylene-<i>co</i>-vinyl alcohol)/poly(ε-caprolactone) Blend for Bioscaffolding Applications

In order to improve the cell adhesion on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds, poly(ethylene-<i>co</i>-vinyl alcohol) (E-VAL) which has hydroxyl groups capable of developing hydrogen bonds with celling was blended with this polymer. To reach this goal, a series of E-VAL/PCL blends with d...
