Abstract
A biomaterial patch of electrospun collagen type fibers was designed and produced by electrospinning seven different concentrations (8%-20% w/v) of collagen solutions. The tensile strength, yield strength, and elastic modulus of the electrospun collagen fibrous patches were found to be suitable for clinical transplantation. No significant differences versus fresh porcine pericardium as controls were observed. The SEM images of the groups showed that the patches were smooth with uniform interwoven and porous morphology. The fibrous patches were biocompatible and did not elicit local or systemic toxic effects when implanted in vivo. These electrospun collagen fibrous patches have significant potential as surgical biomaterial patches.Keywords
