Abstract

Polymer fibers ranging from 50 to 500nm are used in a wide variety of applications because of its large surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface functionalities and superior mechanical performance compared with any other form of materials. Among many polymers, poly (glycolic acid) (PGA) is known to its biocompatibility, bioabsorbability and good mechanical performance. In this study, we produced PGA nanofiber by electrospinning method and investigated its potential such as cell proliferation and cell attachments of artificial materials for several fields in tissue engineering. Moreover, we will discuss about the design of novel function for tissue engineering.
