Preparation and investigation of phosphate glass fibres and organic coupling agents for fully resorbable PGF/PCL composites

The work described in this thesis explored the manufacturing of fully resorbable high strength glass fibres as the reinforcement of poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) composites and attempted chitosan and 3,4-Dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) as coupling agents to improve the interface of PGF/PCL composites...
