Tailoring the biodegradability and bioactivity of green-electrospun polycaprolactone fibers by incorporation of bioactive glass nanoparticles for guided bone regeneration

Fibrous membranes comprising of polycaprolactone (PCL) and bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGn), at different amounts, were prepared by the green electrospinning method for potential use in guided bone regeneration (GBR). The characteristics of the membranes were assessed first by FTIR, SEM, TGA, and DSC. Wettability was studied by measurements of the static water contact angle. In vitro biodegradability and bioactivity were evaluated through...
