(Top: (A) PCL was used as the base polymer for fabrication of electrospun meshes and melted electrospun meshes. (B) PGC-C18 was used as the hydrophobic dopant in electrospun PCL meshes to decrease their wettability. (C) Electrospun PCL mesh with an average fiber size of 7.7 ± 1.2 μm. (D) 10% PGC-C18-doped electrospun PCL mesh with an average fiber size of 7.2 ± 1.4 μm. (E) A melted PCL mesh. (F) A melted 10% PGC-C18-doped electrospun PCL mesh. Bottom: Graphic illustration of the principle of using entrapped air layer as barrier to control drug release rate.)
