Study of Electrospun PLLACL Nanofibrous Mats for Drug Delivery System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study an innovative tissue engineering scaffold was developed which can be used on wound dressing with a controllable drug-releasing capability. By coaxial electrospinning a coaxial nanofibrous mats were obtained which was made from Poly(L-lactid-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLLACL) and Tetracycline Hydrochloride (TCH), with P(LLA-CL) as the shell and TCH as the core. The TCH release behavior of the coaxial nanofibrous mats was measured by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy in vitro environment of 37°C for a maximum 180 hours. To compare with the method of mix electrospinning, TCH without any other material could encapsulated in P(LLA-CL) nanofibers very well and released for a long time.
