A multicompartment vascular implant of electrospun wintergreen oil/ polycaprolactone fibers coated with poly(ethylene oxide)
Background: The aim of the present study was to fabricate double layered scaffolds of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The electrospun PCL fibers were functionalized with wintergreen oil (WO) as a novel approach to prevent vascular grafts failure due to thrombosis b...
