## Abstract The purpose of this research was to develop and characterize a novel, slowly degrading polyesterurethane. In this study, a polyesterurethane with a crystalline segment of poly((R)‐3‐hydroxybutyric acid)‐diol linked by a diisocyanate to an amorphous segment of poly(ε‐caprolactone‐__co__‐

## Abstract Skeletal muscle repair after injury usually results in scar tissue and decreased functionality. In this study, we coaxially electrospun poly(ε‐caprolactone), multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and a hydrogel consisting of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid (PCL‐MWCNT‐H) to create a self‐
## Abstract Scaffolds based on a novel functionalized polyester, pHMGCL, are electrospun and characterized morphologically and physically. In vitro degradation studies of pHMGCL films show considerable mass loss and molecular weight reduction within 70 weeks. Scaffolds composed of fibers with unifo
## Abstract Electrospun composite mats of poly[(D,L‐lactide)__‐co‐__glycolide] and collagen with high porosities of 85–90% and extended pore sizes of 90–130 µm were prepared to mimic the ECM morphologically and chemically. The existence of collagen molecules on the fiber surface was confirmed, enab
## Abstract Porous 2,3‐dialdehydecellulose (2,3‐DAC) membranes were investigated for use as a synthetic scaffold for engineering vocal fold‐like tissues. Two criteria of this application are (i) the viscoelastic shear properties of the scaffold should be controllable in the range of vocal fold tiss
