| Abstract: |
| Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a synthetic polyester that has shown great utility in tissue engineering. In this study, chemical modification of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds blending with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) in different blend ratios was performed. The result indicated that the use of polyamidoamine could enhance the hydrophilicity of PLLA by the formation of active amine groups and also decreased the diameter of the electrospun nanofibers, which could improve some limitation of PLLA electrospun nanofibers in the tissue engineering application. |
