Polycaprolactone (IV 1.7)
| Catalog Number: | PCL-025 |
| Description: | Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable semi-crystalline polyester that can be used for tissue engineering and administration research. |
Basic Information
| Formula | (C6H10O2)n |
| Synonyms | Hexanoic acid, 6-hydroxy-, lactone | 1219802-08-0 | e-Caprolactone--d6 | UNII-56RE988L1R | Hexanoic acid, 6-hydroxy-, .epsilon.-lactone | MFCD00084404 | Oxepan-2-one; Epsilon-Caprolactone | 1,6-Hexanolide | CHEBI:17915 | 2-Oxepanone | 6-Hydroxycaproic aci |
| Applications | Research applications for this material include: tissue engineering scaffolds, 3D bioprinting, and drug delivery applications. |
| Flash Point (°C) | >110°C |
| Melting Point (°C) | 60 |
| Size | 250 mg; 1 g; 5 g |
| Features | Due to the increased length of the aliphatic chains, polycaprolactones degrade significantly slower than other common biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid. The low melting point of polycaprolactones makes them well suited for thermal processing and increases their use in novel applications such as 3-D bioprinting. In addition to its good thermal properties, PCL is highly soluble in organic solvents and can be used in a variety of other processes. |
