Fabrication and sustained release properties of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) electrospun fibers loaded with layered double hydroxide nanoparticles intercalated with amoxicillin

Amoxicillin (AMOX) was intercalated in layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles by coprecipitation. LDH intercalated with AMOX (LDH/AMOX) was successfully encapsulated at different concentrations into poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) by the electrospinning technique. Mats of non-woven PCL fibers loade...
