Abstract

Tendon and ligament (TL) injuries affect millions of people annually. Biopolymers play a significant role in TL tissue repair. Many biopolymers have been studied for TL regeneration; however, finding the right balance in mechanical properties and degradation rates remains a challenge, not only at the time of implantation but also during the biodegradation process. There is a need for improved biopolymers suitable for TL scaffolds. This thesis seeks to develop novel synthetic and natural biopolymers for TL regeneration applications, such as anterior cruciate ligaments, complex tendon/ligament-bone junction, and augmentation of repaired tendons.
