Abstract:Electrospinning, an economical technique, is widely used for biomedical scaffold fabrication, crucial in tissue and organ regeneration, particularly with biomaterials. Polymers, either pure or reinforced with ceramics, aid in cell proliferation and tissue formation. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a promising biopolymer for tissue engineering, offering biocompatibility comparable to petroleum-derived polymers. Combining PHB with hydroxyapatite (HAp) enhances mechanical strength and osteoconductivity. This study a… Show more
