Abstract

Degradable nanofiber scaffold is known to provide a suitable, versatile and temporary structure for tissue regeneration. However, synthetic nanofiber scaffold must be properly designed to display appropriate tissue response during the degradation process. In this context, this publication focuses on the design of a finely‐tuned poly(lactide‐co‐ϵ‐caprolactone) terpolymer (PLCL) that may be appropriate for vascular biomaterials applications and its comparison with well‐known semi‐crystalline poly(l‐lactide) (PLLA). The degradation mechanism of polymer film and nanofiber scaffold and endothelial cells behavior cultured with degradation products is elucidated. The results highlights benefits of using PLCL terpolymer as vascular biomaterial compared to PLLA.

  • In drug delivery systems or skin wound repair materials, a faster degradation rate is often required, and a higher L-lactide ratio can be used to synthesize low molecular weight PLCL.

    “For example, in the design of drug delivery systems or skin wound repair materials, a faster degradation rate is often required, and a higher L-lactide ratio can be used to synthesize low molecular weight PLCL [43].”

    From Application of PLCL as a biodegradable polymer in biomedical engineering (2026) · cites this paper as [43]

    The Abstract (page unavailable) says PLCL degradation rates can be adjusted through monomer ratio and polymer molecular weight, and the Discussion (page unavailable) describes tuning degradation through synthesis conditions. Our copy does not say that a higher L-lactide ratio is used to synthesize low-molecular-weight PLCL, or that faster degradation is required for skin wound repair or drug delivery materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
