Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) is approved as its excel ent biocompatibility, biodegradability and piezoelectric properties, but there are also some deficiencies, such as high breakability and poor hydrophilicity. METHODS:Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) was mixed with different mass percentages of nanohydroxyapatite (0, 10%, 20%and 30%) to prepare new composite fibrous scaffolds through electrospinning process. The microstructure, group composition, crystal ine phase distribution, thermal properties and surface wettability of the scaffolds were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscope, with the increase of nano-hydroxyapatite content, more and more nano-hydroxyapatite particles were distributed evenly on the composite fiber surface;the fiber surface was basical y covered with nano-hydroxyapatite particles at the content of 30%, and the roughness of the fiber surface also increased. Results from differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction showed that the nano-hydroxyapatite reduced the crystal inity of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and the crystal tacticity, and this phenomenon became more evident with the increase of nano-hydroxyapatite content. Additional y, the higher the content of nano-hydroxyapatite content, the lower the contact angle and the higher the hydrophily. These findings indicate that the nano-hydroxyapatite/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) ultrafine-fibrous scaffold using electrospinning technology can effectively improve the surface wettability and crystal inity of the material as wel as the material hydrophily and brittleness, and the higher the content of nano-hydroxyapatite, the more obvious the effect.
