Developments in nanotechnology have yielded nanomaterials for use in tissue engineering and facihtated the creation and study of nanoparticles and molecular machine systems that wiU assist in the detection and treatment of disease and injury. 

When electrospun, the resulting scaffolds mimic the structure of extracellular matrix. Thus, further development of these polymers is needed to meet the demands of the next generation of biomaterials and support the advancement of medical devices, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and nanotechnology.
