چکیده

Carbohydrate used in biomedical applications is influenced by numerous factors. One of the most appealing
characteristic of carbohydrates is their ability to reproduce from natural resources which makes them ecologically friendly. Due to their abundance, biocompatibility, and no contamination by residual initiators, the desire
for polysaccharides in medical uses is growing. Research on fiber-based materials, with a variety of medical
applications including bio-functional scaffolds, continues to yield novel and intriguing findings. Almost all
biopolymers of diverse structural compositions are electrospun to fulfill biomedical usage criteria, and the
electrospinning technique is widely employed in biomedical technologies for both in-vivo and in-vitro therapies.
Due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability, polycaprolactone (PCL) is employed in medical applications
like tissue engineering and drug delivery. Although PCL nanofibers have established effects in vitro, more
research is needed before their potential therapeutic application in the clinic. Here we tried to focus mainly on
the carbohydrate incorporated PCL-based nanofibers production techniques, structures, morphology, and
physicochemical properties along with their usage in biomedicine.
