Abstract Porous membranes of polycaprolactone containing calcium silicate fibers for guided bone regeneration were prepared by a controlled humidity method. The results indicated the development of the novel membrane microstructure with porosity and surface roughness increased. The pore size varied between 4.76–14.28 µm and the roughness increase 72.8% compared with control. These characteristics can provide a better interaction with the biological medium combined to the osteoconduction properties of the calcium silicate fibers and biocompatibility of the PCL. Therefore, the porous PCL/CaSiO3 membranes are promising biomaterial for guided bone regeneration.
