Thermal and dynamic mechanical behavior of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)‐based electrospun scaffolds for tissue engineering

Electrospun scaffolds can find numerous applications, including biomedical; for example, tissue engineering. Poly-L-lactic acid is considered suitable these but its low-thermal stability and poor mechanical properties limit this polymer use. The aim of work to obtain a modulation the final characteristics such as fibers dimension, wettability, elasticity, resistance rupture through choice polymers be electrospun. Different electrospun containing gelatin, Poly-DL-lactic acid, different percentages cellulose nanocrystals an elastin peptide have been produced. Thermal stability, physical structure, behavior studied. Results suggest that show better thermal than bulk materials; is, with best hydrophilic thermomechanical are samples 3% (wt/wt) CNCs peptide.
