Polylactide (PLA) (Natureworks 4043D, Minnetonka, MN, USA) with molecular weight (Mw) of 100 kDa; polycaprolactone (PCL) with Mw of 67 kDa and gelatin (Chimmed, Moscow, Russia) were used as received. Chitosan with Mw of 80 kDa and degree of deacetylation of 0.89 as well as oligo(l-lactide) with Mw of 5 kDa from l-lactic acids (Panreac, Barcelona, Spain) were synthesized in Enikolopov Institute of Synthetic Polymeric Materials. Multicomponent copolymer-contained system based on polycaprolactone/poly(l-lactide)/oligo(l-lactide)/chitosan/gelatin (PPCOG) was obtained via mechanochemical approach and characterized as reported earlier [29 (link)]. Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) was purchased from “Chemmed” (Moscow, Russia) and used as received.
