Abstract
The in vitro proliferation and migration of human osteoblasts in porous poly(caprolactone fumarate) (PCLF) scaffolds were investigated. PCLF was synthesized by condensation polymerization of PCL with fumaryl chloride in methylene chloride with triethylamine as the catalyst. Scaffolds were fabricated from the PCLF copolymer with salt as the porogen, and dimethyltoluidine (DMT) as the accelerator. NMR and FTIR were used to confirm the presence of the fumarate group in the PCLF macromers. The results from cell migration study with confocal microscopy show that PCLF, as an injectable and in-situ crosslinkable scaffold, supports osteoblast attachment, migration, and proliferation in vitro.
