Potential Applications

Nanofibrous scaffolds of PVA and HA were prepared by electrospinning. SEM showed the scaffolds had porous nanofibrous morphology, and the diameter of the fibers was in the range of 200-1000 nm. FTIR and XRD showed the presence of HA in the scaffolds. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds changed by the adding content of HA. For the nanoscaffolds with 2wt % HA, the ultimate tensile strength and the elongation at break was 7.5 MPa and 17%. The PVA/HA nanoscaffolds prepared by electrospinning indicated good properties, and had a potential applications in bone tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.

Nanotextured materials or nanomaterials offer diverse remarkable applications in various walks of life owing to their unique geometry. This chapter is focused on the synthesis and characterization of electrospun nanofibrous matrices as a novel biomimetic scaffold for the cultivation of cells and tissues; in particular muscle cells and tissues. Tissue engineering is exceedingly interdisciplinary branch of science which integrates the benefits of life sciences and medicine with those of engineering. In order to cultivate muscle cells in-vitro, it is necessary to have a 3D scaffold. In tissue engineering applications or even in 3D cell cultures, the biological cross talk between cells and the scaffold is controlled by the material properties and scaffold characteristics. This chapter provides a general overview of the common approaches and techniques used for designing nanofibrous scaffolds for culture of cells specifically muscle cells. The limitations and benefits of the tissue engineering are discussed.
