Polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable and non-toxic polymer, was used to prepare composites with inorganic and organic additives by solvent casting method with dichloromethane as solvent.
Gel polymer electrolytes composed of poly vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) copolymer, poly vinylidene fluoride) polymer, PC+DEC as plasticizer and LiClO4 as salt have been synthesized by solvent casting technique with varying the plasticizer-salt concentration ratio systematically.
Chitosan-acetate films were prepared by solvent casting technique from chitosan solutions (20 g/L) with different combinations of nanoclay (0 5 10 g/L) and LAE (0 0.5 1 g/L) by using an experimental design of 32.
Scaffolds were fabricated from poly(1,4-butylene succinate) extended with 1,6-diisocyanatohexane (PBSu DCH) by solvent casting and particulate leaching technique.
In our study, we decided to utilize the polyester poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) in the form of film prepared by solvent casting, since it is a nontoxic, biodegradable polymer, with a slow degradation rate (months to years), which demonstrates good mechanical strength and biocompatibility [ 28– 328.
PCL samples for cell culture experiments were prepared by solvent casting, a technique allowing the obtainment of polymeric films with limited thickness.
Martins et al.[19] fabricated ferrites/PVDF nanocomposites films with thickness of 40 to 50 μm by solvent casting and melt processing.
Nanocomposite films of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and zirconium phosphate (ZrP /doped ZrP (doped with Ca, Mg, Ti) nanoparticles have been developed by solvent casting method to assess their potential as matrix material in scaffold-guided tissue engineering application.
Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composites with different types of nanodiamond (ND) particles were produced by solvent casting.
In general, MOFs with nonwoven textile exhibited greater weights than samples prepared by solvent casting method.
