Evaluate of Different Bioactive Glass on Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposites Prepared Using Electrospinning Method

In this study, electrospun Polycaprolactone-Bioactive glass (BGs) nanocomposite were produced using electrospinning method. Three bioactive glass were selected based on SiO2-CaO-SrO-P2O5 system with exchange of SrO content was substituted for CaO and the other glass was 45S5. The morphology of electrospun nanofibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were statistically analyzed and compared between groups using ANOVA. The results revealed that BGs with a good dispersion and distribution in the nanofibers web increases the mechanical properteis compared with pure Polycaprolactone (PCL), but the 45S5 make more fragile the nanocomposite structure.
