Abstract

To exploit the usability of Digital Light Processing (DLP) in regenerative medicine, biodegradable, mechanically customizable and
well-defined polyester urethane acrylate resins were synthesized
based on poly(caprolactone-co-trimethlenecarbonate). By controlling the monomer ratio, the resultant fabricated constructs
showed tunable mechanical properties, degradation and attached
hMSC morphologies.
