Abstract

Melt electrospinning is a promising approach to manufacture biocompatible scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this study, melt electrospinning of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) onto structured, metallic collectors resulted in scaffolds with an average pore size of 250-300 mu m and an average fibre diameter of 15 mu m. Scaffolds were seeded with ovine osteoblasts in vitro. Cell proliferation and ...
