We demonstrate that the technically simple, low-cost, and rapid method of template synthesis can be used to create arrays of nanowires and nanofibers from the biocompatible, biodegradable polymer poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL). PCL substrates introduced into a standard laboratory oven at temperatures as low as 65 degrees C are able to form nanostructures. Nanostructure morphology can be controlled, and complex patterning can be achieved. Solvent-free and low-temperature fabrications also allow for the encapsulation of therapeutics for sustained release.
我们证明,模板合成这种技术简单、成本低且快速的方法可用于从生物相容性、可生物降解的聚合物聚(ε-己内酯)(PCL)制备纳米线和纳米纤维阵列。引入到标准实验室烘箱中、温度低至65摄氏度的PCL底物能够形成纳米结构。纳米结构形态可以得到控制,并且能够实现复杂的图案化。无溶剂和低温制造还允许对治疗剂进行封装以实现持续释放。
