Reactive Blends of Thermoplastic Starch and Epoxidized Natural Rubber with Chlorhexidine Gluconate Compatibilizer and Antimicrobial Agent

In this study, reactive blending of thermoplastic starch (TPS), chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was performed. CHG was incorporated to improve compatibility via crosslinking and antimicrobial properties, whereas ENR was added to improve the flex...

3D-Printed Poly(ε-Caprolactone)/CaCO3 Biocomposite Meshes for Bone Tissue Engineering: EnhancedMechanicalStrength and Cytocompatibility

Abstract Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polyester widely used in biomedical scaffolds. However, its relatively low mechanical strength and limited cell adhesion properties remain major challenges for bone tissue engineering applications. This stud...
