摘要

In recent years, Tissue Engineering (TE) field has been significantly benefited from advanced techniques, such as Additive Manufacturing (AM), for the design of customized 3D scaffolds with the aim of guided tissue repair. Among the wide range of materials available to biomanufacture 3D scaffolds, Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) clearly arises as the synthetic polymer with the highest potential due to its unique properties, namely biocompatibility, biodegradability, thermal/chemical stability and processability. This paper reports for the first time the effect of pore geometry on the in vitro enzymatic chain cleavage mechanism of PCL scaffolds manufactured by AM extrusion process. Morphological analysis performed by SEM and μ-CT suggested a uniform reduction of filament diameter, while increasing the scaffolds porosity. Thermal analysis (DSC) showed an increment in the crystallinity degree while the molecular weight, evaluated through SEC, remains almost constant during the incubation period (25 days). Mechanical analysis performed under static compression highlighted a decrease in the compressive modulus and maximum stress over time, probably related with the significant weight loss of the scaffolds. All these results suggest that PCL scaffolds undergo enzymatic degradation through a surface erosion mechanism, with significant variations of the mechanical, physical and chemical properties, but with little influence on pore geometry. Keywords: Tissue Engineering, Biomanufacturing, Polycaprolactone, Scaffolds, Enzymatic degradation
