In scaffold-based tissue engineering strategies, the successful regeneration of tissues from matrixproducing connective tissue cells or anchorage-dependent cells (e.g. osteoblasts) relies on the use of a suitable scaffold. This study describes the development and characterization of SPCL (starch with !-polycaprolactone, 30 : 70%) and SPLA [starch with poly(lactic acid), 30 : 70%] fibre-meshes, aimed at applicat...
Poly(L/D)lactide 96/4 fibres with diameters of 50 and 80 microm were produced. The smaller diameter fibres were carded and needle punched to form a non-woven mat. Fibres and non-woven mats were hydrolysed for a period of 20 weeks. Fibres and pressed non-woven discs were treated with low-temperature oxygen plasma and alkaline KOH hydrolysis and ethanol washing was used as a reference treatment. The non-wovens lo...
