Polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers are widely used in the biomimetic materials field due to their excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and tunable physicochemical properties. As a highly customizable polymer, PCL fibers play a significant role in tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound repair, and other fields. By adjusting the structure, porosity, and mechanical properties of the fibers, PCL fibers can precisely mimic the characteristics of human tissues, effectively supporting cell growth, repairing damaged tissues, and enabling smart drug delivery.
PCL fibers are widely used in the preparation of tissue engineering scaffolds, particularly for bone, cartilage, and skin tissue repair. PCL fibers offer excellent mechanical properties, tunable degradation rates, and superior cell compatibility, providing support for cells and promoting their proliferation and differentiation. The highly adjustable pore structure and surface properties make them ideal materials for tissue engineering scaffolds, effectively enhancing cell adhesion and tissue regeneration.
PCL fibers also perform excellently in drug delivery systems, especially in controlled drug release. By loading drugs into PCL fibers, slow release of the drugs can be achieved, ensuring sustained therapeutic effects over long-term treatment. PCL fibers not only have a prolonged degradation time but can also precisely control the drug release rate by adjusting the fiber's porosity and surface functionalization. They are widely applied in cancer treatment, antibacterial therapy, and other localized treatment fields.
Due to their excellent biodegradability and antibacterial properties, PCL fibers are widely used in the development of wound repair and dressing materials. By combining PCL fibers with bioactive molecules or antibacterial components, wound healing can be accelerated, and infection can be prevented. PCL fibers are used to prepare absorbable dressings, bandages, and dressings with adjustable drug release, helping to speed up wound healing and tissue regeneration.
PCL fibers can be used as one of the base materials for sensors to detect biological signals. By combining PCL fibers with sensing elements (such as metal nanoparticles or conductive polymers), the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensors can be improved. These sensors can be used to monitor biological signals such as pH levels and electrical potential changes within the body.

PCL-based fibers can be engineered to deliver various types of drugs, including proteins, peptides, and small molecules.
PCL fibers are typically produced through electrospinning or melt-spinning techniques. Electrospinning allows for the creation of fine fibers with nanometer-scale diameters, while melt-spinning involves extruding the polymer into fiber form at high temperatures. Both methods ensure the fibers retain the desired mechanical properties and biodegradability.
PCL nanofibers are ultra-fine fibers made from polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer, with diameters typically in the nanometer range. These fibers are known for their high surface area, flexibility, and biocompatibility, making them ideal for applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and wound healing. PCL nanofibers can be fabricated using electrospinning techniques, allowing for precise control over their structure and properties. Due to their biodegradable nature, they are especially valuable in medical applications, offering temporary structural support that degrades as the tissue regenerates.
PLGA-PCL nanofibers are composite fibers made from a blend of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL). These fibers combine the properties of both polymers, offering enhanced mechanical strength, controlled degradation rates, and improved drug release profiles. PLGA provides rapid biodegradability and is suitable for short-term applications, while PCL ensures longer-lasting structural integrity. PLGA-PCL nanofibers are widely used in biomedical fields, including drug delivery systems, wound healing, and tissue scaffolds, where both biocompatibility and controlled release are essential.
PCL nanofibers have a high surface-to-volume ratio, making them ideal for applications such as drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering.
