Effect of sterilisation by gamma irradiation on the ability of polycaprolactone (PCL) to act as a scaffold material

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a promising potential material for tissue engineering scaffolds. This paper investigates the effect of sterilisation by gamma irradiation (dose 2.5 Mrad) on degradation rate (catalysed by lipase), mechanical properties and the ability of cells to attach and subsequently gro...
