Enhancing Biocompatibility without Compromising Material Properties: An Optimised NaOH Treatment for Electrospun Polycaprolactone Fibres
This research presents the first optimised protocol for submersion of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibres in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to improve surface hydrophilicity, and hence biocompatibility, without compromising material properties. The study comprised two aims: (1) identify the leading N...
