Physicochemical characterisation and biological evaluation of hydrogel-poly(ε-caprolactone) interpenetrating polymer networks as novel urinary biomaterials

Hydrogels are frequently employed as medical device biomaterials due to their advantageous biological properties, e.g. resistance to infection and encrustation, biocompatibility; however, their poor mechanical properties generally limit the scope of application to coatings of medical devices. To add...
