Polycaprolactone-Based Films Incorporated with Birch Tar—Thermal, Physicochemical, Antibacterial, and Biodegradable Properties

Polycaprolactone-Based Films Incorporated with Birch Tar—Thermal, Physicochemical, Antibacterial, and Biodegradable Properties

We present new polymer materials consisting of polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and birch tar (D). PEG was introduced into the polymer matrix in order to obtain a plasticizing effect, while tar was added to obtain antibacterial properties and to change the physicochemical propertie...
