Abstract

Polycaprolactone/polyethylene oxide/iota-carrageenan nanofibrous scaffold was produced using electrospinning. Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to characterize the morphology of the samples and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify the resulting functional groups present in the samples. An in vitro treatment using Simulated Body Fluids (SBF) was used to evaluate the biodegradability of the samples over a 24-hour period. Morphology reveals the relation between tip to collector distance and the relation between ratio concentrations of the reactants with diameter of the electrospun fibers.
