Electrospun membranes novel developments

Bhattarai et al. developed a novel biodegradable electrospun membrane as a scaffold for tissue engineering. A nanofibrous matrix of poly(p-dioxanone-co-L-lactide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PPDO/PLLA-b-PEG) copolymer was evaluated for cell proliferation and its morphology of cell-matrix interaction. The electrospun structure composed of fibers with an average diameter of 380 nm, medium pore size 8 mm, porosity greater than 80% and mechanical strength of 1.4 MPa is favorable for cell-matrix interaction [39].

Ago et al. prepared bifibrous mats by electrospinning mixtures of biodegradable polymers lignin and PLA with CNs. Fiber morphology and thermal stability were smd-ied as a function of filler concentration. Strong interaction between the fignin-PLA matrix and the CNs led to improved thermal stability of the membranes. Electrospun nanofibrous composites that use cellulosic fillers have tremendous potential for the development of novel multifunctional materials [67].
