Production of rotary jet spun ultrathin fibers of poly-butylene adipate-co- terephthalate (PBAT) filled with nanocomposites

Abstract

Composite fibers of bioabsorbable poly-butylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) reinforced with superhydrophilic carbon nanotubes and hydroxyapatite nanocrystals were obtained by rotary jet spinning technique (RJS). The fibers were morphologically and biologically analyzed and found of potential use as scaffold for hard tissue engineering.
