Sodium Percarbonate (SPO) was incorporated into polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) polymer films to achieve sustained oxygen supply for use in tissue engineering in prolonging tissue survival in tissue healing and regeneration. The solvent casting method was used to incorporate SPO i...
