Abstract
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of using a novel hydroxyl-functionalized polyester [poly(hydroxymethylglycolide-co-ε-caprolactone), pHMGCL] (Fig.9) to fabricate scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Degradable polymers that are frequently used for tissue engineering applications are ‘normal’ aliphatic polyesters such as PCL, PLA and PLGA. One of the drawbacks
