Abstract
<p class="first" id="d1494320e175">Bone tissue engineering using polymer based scaffolds
have been studied a lot in last
decades. Considering the qualities of all the polymers desired to be used as scaffolds,
Polycaprolactone (PCL) polyester apart from being biocompatible and biodegradable
qualifies to an appreciable level due its easy availability, cost efficacy and suitability
for modification. Its adjustable physio-chemical state, biological properties and
mechanical strength renders it to withstand physical, chemical and mechanical, insults
without significant loss of its properties. This review aims to critically analyse
the efficacy of PCL as a biomaterial for bone scaffolds.
