Abstract

Over the last 20 years, biodegradable materials in medical applications have been studied extensively. Among these materials, poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(trimethylene carbonate)(PTMC) are attractive biopolymers to be used as biodegradable sutures, artificial skin, drug release system. It was known that PCL is a nontoxic biocompatible semicrystalline polymer with melting point of 63℃, and PTMC is an amorphous or little crystaline polymer. (omitted)
