Characterization of a Biodegradable Electrospun Polyurethane Nanofiber Scaffold Suitable for Annulus Fibrosus Tissue Engineering

Show other versions (1)

The current study characterizes the mechanical and biodegradation properties of a polycarbonate polyurethane (PU) electrospun nanofiber scaffold intended for use in the growth of a tissue engineered annulus fibrosus (AF) intervertebral disc component. Both the tensile strength and initial modulus of...
