Vascular graft failure has persisted as a major clinical problem. Mechanical, structural, and transport properties of vascular grafts are critical factors that substantially affect their function and thus the outcome of implantation. The manufacturing method, post-processing technique, and material of choice have a significant impact on these properties. The goal of this work is to use thermal treatment to modulate the transport properties of PCL-based vascular engineered constructs. To this end, we electrospun PCL tubular constructs and thermally bonded the electrospun fibers in a convective oven at various temperatures (54, 57, and 60°C) and durations of treatment (15, 30, and 45 s). The effects of fiber thermal bonding (thermobonding) on the transport, mechanical, and structural properties of PCL tubular constructs were characterized. Increasing the temperature and treatment duration enhanced the degree of thermobonding by removing the interconnected void and fusing the fibers. Thermobonding at 57°C and 60°C for longer than 30 s increased the median tangential modulus (E = 126.1 MPa, IQR = 20.7), mean suture retention (F = 193.8 g, SD = 18.5), and degradation rate while it decreased the median permeability (k = 0 m/s), and median thickness (t = 60 μm, IQR = 2.5). In particular, the thermobonding at 57°C allowed a finer modulation of permeability via treatment duration. We believe that the thermobonding method can be utilized to modulate the properties of vascular engineered constructs which can be useful in designing functional vascular grafts.
