Abstract

The nanofibrous scaffolds were obtained by co-electrospinning PHBV and collagen Type I in HIFP. The resulting fiber diameters were in the range between 300 and 600 nm. The nanofiber surfaces were characterized by ATR-FTIR, ESCA and AFM. The PHBV and collagen components of the PHBV-Col nanofibrous scaffold were biodegraded by PHB depolymerase and a collagenase Type I aqueous solution, respectively. It was found, from the cell-culture experiment, that the PHBV-Col nanofibrous scaffold accelerated the adhesion of the NIH 3T3 cell compared to the PHBV nanofibrous scaffold, thus showing a good tissue engineering scaffold.
