Poly(caprolactone-<i>co</i>-trimethylenecarbonate) urethane acrylate resins for digital light processing of bioresorbable tissue engineering implants

Abstract

To exploit the usability of Digital Light Processing (DLP) in regenerative medicine, biodegradable, mechanically customizable and well-defined polyester urethane acrylate resins were synthesized based on poly(caprolactone-co-trimethlenecarbonate). By controlling the monomer ratio, the resultant fabricated constructs showed tunable mechanical properties, degradation and attached hMSC morphologies.
