Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)(CAT: L002459) is a biodegradable, semi-crystalline aliphatic polyester synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone. Known for its excellent flexibility, biocompatibility, and slow degradation rate, PCL is widely used in biomedical research and advanced material development. Its unique combination of toughness and processability makes it suitable for long-term implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, drug delivery carriers, and wound healing materials. PCL readily blends or copolymerizes with lactide, glycolide, or other monomers, enabling the design of tailor-made bioresorbable materials. With superior elasticity compared to PLLA and PLGA, PCL provides researchers with a versatile platform for regenerative medicine and medical device innovation.
