The effects of laser energy density and particle size in the selective laser sintering of polycaprolactone/progesterone specimens: morphology and drug release

TL;DR: The results showed that the specimens maintained morphological uniformity, coalescence of particles, and interconnected pores distributed in the sintered structure, and the drug release mechanism of all specimens studied followed a zero-order kinetics.
