Abstract

A biodegrdable elastomeric poly(ester urethane) urea (PEUU) combined with type I collagen and processed by electrospinning to form scaffolds with submicron scale fibrillar features was discussed. Submicron diameter fibers ranging from 100-900nm was discovered using digital image processing of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the electrospun scaffolds. It was observed that collagen adsorption have minimal impact on the mechanical properties. The results show an approach to mimic elastic extracellular matrices by relying upon synthetic components to provide mechanical function and supplement this function with native matrix proteins for bioactivity.
