Abstract
Synthetic biopolymers, such as poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), have been widely studied for biomedical applications due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, there are other polymers that, even non biodegradable, are biocompatible. Among this type of polymers, a lot of attention has been devoted to synthetic materials, also called "smart materials", which mimic biopol…
