Characterization of a Water-Dispersed Biodegradable Polyurethane-Silk Composite Sponge Using <sup>13</sup>C Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance as Coating Material for Silk Vascular Grafts with Small Diameters

Recently, <i>Bombyx mori</i> silk fibroin (SF) has been shown to be a suitable material for vascular prostheses for small arteries. In this study, we developed a softer SF graft by coating water-dispersed biodegradable polyurethane (PU) based on polycaprolactone and an SF composite spong...
