A solvent-free melt-drawing of aligned poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) copolymer (PLC) microfibers into the tubular scaffold with the endocircular and exolongitudinal patterns has been investigated for the esophageal tissue engineering. The PLC microfibrous tubular scaffold was melt-drawn onto the...
