Abstract
This study synthesized a novel polycaprolactone (PCL)-based polyurethane (PU) with an organosilane functional group and produced a biodegradable PU-silica hybrid via the sol-gel process. The resulting hybrid exhibited flexibility, biodegradability, and shape memory ability. Allophanate bonding facilitated rapid sol-gel transition, enabling the creation of 3D porous scaffolds using a salt-leaching process. A 30 wt.% silica hybrid scaffold demonstrated optimal mechanical properties and induced osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis, accelerating bone regeneration.
