Description

Polycaprolactone (PCL) Biodegradable Polymer is a semi-crystalline aliphatic polyester known for its slow degradation rate and high flexibility. It is widely used in biomedical applications where long-term structural integrity is required. PCL degrades through hydrolysis of ester linkages, producing non-toxic byproducts over extended time periods ranging from months to years.

The polymer exhibits excellent processability and compatibility with a wide range of fabrication techniques, including electrospinning, extrusion, and molding. Its low melting temperature allows easy shaping and blending with other polymers to tailor mechanical and degradation properties. PCL is commonly used in applications requiring durable yet biodegradable materials.
