dc.description.abstract The use of biodegradable polymers in temporary surgical and pharmacological applications has become a prominent part of polymer research. Poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) is widely studied for tissue engineering applications due to its relatively suitable degradation period and biocompatibility. Micro-porous particles are useful in soft-tissue bulking due to their relatively large surface area, low density and high degree of porosity. In this study, the authors have developed ported porous PCL particles for soft-tissue bulking, using an oil-in-water emulsion with an internal bicarbonate phase which evolves carbon dioxide gas on reaction with a cetic acid thereby producing ports in the structure. en_US
