Molecular weight estimation of supramolecular polycaprolactone by electrospinning

Tissue engineering has attracted increasing attention over the last two decades. In any bone tissue engineering approach, scaffold plays a critical role as extra cellular matrix (ECM). Polymers have been considered as excellent candidates as synthetic ECMs. Supramolecular polycaprolactone(SP-PCL), with well known stimuli responsive properties has been successfully examined in tissue engineering applications.Here, we report on preparation of nano-fibrous scaffolds from SP-PCL using electrospinning. The morphological changes are then studied as a function of the electrospinning conditions. The morphology of the resulting mats is studied using scanning electron microscopy as a function of the supramolecular polymer chains molecular weight
