The electrospun membranes were prepared with the solutions of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and polycaprolactone or grapheme oxide (GO), the porous sponge-like structure was fabricated with silk fibroin. Aligned fibrous membranes could be fabricated by electrospinning with oriented structure to enhance the mechanical strength and guide the alignment of cells. Via X-ray diffractometer, overall crystallinity of PHB blends demonstrated an decreasing trend. The mechanical properties of PHB were optimized by blending with PCL or adding GO as nanofillers. The cell viability of 3T3 fibroblasts and tenocytes on the electrospun membranes were evaluated by WST-1 assay in 7-dat cultures. On the other hand, the diameter of membrane fibers could be adjusted by using various concentrations of polymer solution. It was observed that cell proliferation was regulated by the changes in the fiber diameter, as the higher the fiber diameter the better the cell viability was obtained.
On the other hand, the crystallization of silk fibroin could be induced by aqueous ethanol (EtOH) and isopropanol (IPA). Afterwards, silk fibroin was lyophilized to form a porous sponge-like structure scaffold with pore size ranging from 5 to 10 μm with controllable thickness. The sponge-like porous structure in the scaffold could provide a microenvironment for cell proliferation and infiltration.
