- Supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering International Exchange programme between Colombia and the UK (Grant No. IAPP18-19\295), this work pioneers the development of a biocomposite coating synthesised by utilising the strong biocompatibility of polycaprolactone and a biomineral called otolith extracted from Teleost fish together with the multiwalled carbon nanotubes. This novel coating has shown new prospects for regeneration and treatment of bone diseases. The work has led to consolidating an important chapter of the PhD thesis of Nerly Montanez as well as has raised the societal impact of the RAEng grant by promoting women empowerment in engineering
