Abstract
ABSTRACT Poly(ε-caprolactone), a biodegradable aliphatic polyester, has been utilised in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biomedical devices. Poly(ε-caprolactone) has been researched for optimum crystallinity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, molecular weight, and crystallisation and melting temperature. Essential features of poly(ε-caprolactone) were enhanced using nanofillers counting carbon nanotube, graphene, graphene oxide, halloysite nanotube, silica nanoparticle, nanoclay, and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane. Incorporation of nanoparticles allows modification of chemical, mechanical, and physical properties of nanocomposite. The article presents a comprehensive review on poly(ε-caprolactone)-based nanocomposite, correlation between structure and properties, application, and future challenges. Poly(ε-caprolactone)-based nanocomposite has been explored for electromagnetic interference shielding, shape memory, sensor, and tissue engineering.
