Fibers of Poly (lactic-co-glycolic Acid) / Poly (isoprene) Blend for Application in Tissue Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tissue engineering can be easily described as the in vitro seeding and attachment of human cells onto a scaffold in order to develop new tissue. The application of polymers as scaffolds may bring interesting properties, such as bioresorbability, biocompatibility, mechanical behavior closer to that presented by the original tissue. Poly (Lactic-coGlycolic Acid) (PLGA) and Poly(Isoprene) (PI) were blended and conformed as fibers for this purpose. Was observed that both blending and dripping techniques have no major influence over material's chemical structures, with no residual solvents presented. For the blend in this proportion, PLGA and PI showed a partial miscibility. In the biological analysis, the material presented an increase in population after 14 days, being recommendable a further investigations for its application in biomedical field.
