Abstract

Zbog održavanja ili poboljšanja kvalitete života, nastoji se smanjiti proizvodnja sintetskih polimera, a naglasak staviti na biorazgradljive polimere. Jedan od predstavnika biorazgradljivih polimera, polikaprolakton, najveću primjenu pronalazi u području biomedicine. Čisti polikaprolakton posjeduje dobra mehanička svojstva što ga čini čestim izborom, no svojstva se mogu i poboljšati pripremom kompozitnih materijala. Odlike kompozitnih materijala s polimernom matricom brojna su kvalitetna svojstva koja im omogućuju široku primjenu te vrlo često zamjenjuju klasične materijale. Njihova izrada omogućuje formiranje materijala s poboljšanim svojstvima u odnosu na svojstva pojedinih komponenti. U novije vrijeme, sve je veća potražnja i primjena polimernih kompozita na bazi polikaprolaktona jer posjeduju modificirana svojstva koja omogućuju širu primjenu i iskoristivost polikaprolaktona kao biorazgradljivog polimera. Njihova je najčešća primjena u koštanom i tkivnom inženjerstvu gdje se kao visokokvalitetni materijali koriste za izrade koštanih i tkivnih konstrukcija. U ovom je radu dan literaturni pregled polimernih kompozita na bazi polikaprolaktona, opisana su provedena ispitivanja, svojstva i potencijalne primjene ovakvih materijala.

Abstract (english)

To sustain and improve the quality of life, one seeks to reduce the production of synthetic polymers and increase the focus on the production of biodegradable polymers. One of these biodegradable polymers is polycaprolactone, highly present in the field of biomedicine. A pure polycaprolactone has good mechanical properties which makes it suitable for many applications but its properties can be improved by preparing composite materials. Composite materials with polymer matrix contain many properties of high quality which then enable their wide application and use instead of traditional materials. Their manufacture results in materials with improved properties in comparison to the properties of individual components. Recently, there is a growing demand and application of polymer composites based on polycaprolactone because their modified properties allow wider application and utilization of polycaprolactone as a biodegradable polymer. Their most common application is in bone-tissue engineering where they are used as high-quality materials to make bone and tissue structures. This paper presents a literature review of polymer composites based on polycaprolactone as well as the description of the performed tests, properties and potential applications of such materials.
