Abstract:

A novel biomaterial poly (butylene carbonate) (PBC) was used to fabricate aligned nanofibresby electrospinning with a high-speed transfer roller as the receiving device. The morphology of the fibers was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To expand the application of the biomaterial, cold plasma treatment and induced grafting technology were applied to improve its hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. The properties of the fibers, pretreated withhelium and following grafting with gelatin,were evaluated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity of the materials to Schwann cells (RSC96) was investigated. Results indicated that aligned nanofibers can be received at high rotation speed.After plasma pretreatment, the activity of the surface was improved significantly and the grafting reaction was successful. SEM observations showed that cells can grow on the fibersurface along the direction of fiberorientation after seeding with RSC96 for 3 and 5 days. Modification of the nanofibersurface with gelatin significantly increased RSC96 attachment and proliferation.
