This laboratory study investigated ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone using organic-acid catalysts to produce poly-ε-caprolactone intended as a biodegradable drug carrier. The authors report that citric acid catalysis yielded substantially higher molecular weight polymer than other catalysts. They also…

This engineering study reports fabrication of a biodegradable PLLA shape-memory nanocomposite incorporating surface-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The composite showed improved tensile/mechanical and shape-memory properties compared with PLLA, and shape recovery could be triggered by an alternating magnetic field.…
