Properties of Fibrous Scaffolds from Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate), Polylactide, Polyglycolide and Poly(Lactide-Glycolide) with Various Methods of Electrostatic Forming

Abstract

Fibrous scaffolds from polymer solutions of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate, polylactide and polyglycolide, and copolymer of poly(lactide-glycolide) were obtained using electrostatic shaping with one or two feeding capillaries on one collecting manifold and their characteristics were studied. The spatial distribution of fibers having different chemical structure in layers of fibrous scaffolds occurred when two feeding capillaries were used. The composition of polymer solutions influenced on the hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties of fibrous scaffolds, regardless of the method of electrostatic molding
