The Morphology of Fibrous Matrices for Medical Use from Poly-3-Oxybutyrate Obtained by Electrospinning

The application of nonwoven fibrous matrices made of biodegradable polymers for medicine and tissue engineering is a promising direction in bioengineering. The matrices based on poly-3-oxybutyrate biopolymer with the use of titanium dioxide and silicon nanoparticles have been produced via electrospinning. It is found that nanoscale particles accelerate crystallization and melting of polymer and improve the physicomechanical parameters of the fibrous materials. It has been shown that the most favorable foundation for growth of the living cells is matrices made of filaments of small diameter. Nonwoven fibrous matrices of poly-3-oxybutyrate can be proposed for tissue engineering and traumatology.
