Tough photo-cross-linked PCL-hydroxyapatite composites for bone tissue engineering

Acrylate-based photo-cross-linked poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) tends to show low elongation and strength. Incorporation of osteo-inductive hydroxyapatite (HAp) further enhances this effect, which limits its applicability in bone tissue engineering. To overcome this, the thiol-ene click react...
