Abstract
The study describes the detailed examination of the effect of ethylene oxide sterilization on electrospun scaffolds constructed from biodegradable polyesters. Different fibrous layers fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL) and a copolymer consisting of polylactide and polycaprolactone (PLCL) were investigated for the determination of their mechanical properties, degradation rates and interaction with fibroblasts. It was discovered that the sterilization procedure influenced the mechanical properties of the electrospun PLCL copolymer scaffold to the greatest extent. No effect of ethylene oxide sterilization on degradation behavior was observed. However, a delayed fibroblast proliferation rate was noticed with concern to the ethylene oxide sterilized samples compared to the ethanol sterilization of the materials.Entities:
