ABSTRACT

Various blends and composites have been developed during the past few years in order to free some of the polymers from renewable resources disadvantages, such as poor mechanical properties, or to offset the high price of synthetic biodegradable polymers (Yu et al. 2006). Electrospun bers have exceptional properties, such as high specic surface area, and can be easily designed to have enhanced mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and cellular response, making them appealing to be used in composites materials applicable in the medical eld (Baptista et al. 2013).
