COMPOSITION COMPRISING PHOSPHONIC ACID POLYMER FOR USE AS TISSUE ENGINEERING FIBROUS SCAFFOLD

摘要

A fibrous tissue scaffold wherein fibres of the scaffold comprise a phosphonic acid polymer. The fibres preferably incorporate a vinylphosphonic acid—acrylic acid copolymer, and may further include polycaprolactone. There is further described medical implant coating comprising a phosphonic acid polymer, a biocompatible fibre comprising a phosphonic acid polymer and a biocompatible polymer comprising polycaprolactone and a phosphonic acid polymer.
