摘要
Poly(L-caprolactone)/chitin fiber (PCL-CF) composites as potential bone substitutes were prepared using a simple melt-processing method. The results from differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) showed that there was interaction between PCL and CF. Static mechanical testing showed that tensile strength, Young's modulus and flexural strength were increased by the addition of CF. The measurements from DMTA and an advanced rheometric expansion system showed that both the storage modulus and loss modulus were enhanced by CF. The PCL-CF composite with CF of 45% by mass had the best properties among all the tested composites. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
