Nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning a solution of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and their mean diameter was 340 nm. The PLGA nanofibers were treated with a plasma in the presence of either oxygen or ammonia gas to change their surface characteristics. The hydrophilicity of the electrospun PLGA nanofibers was significantly increased by the gas plasma treatment, as confirmed by contact angle measurements. XPS analysis demonstrated that the chemical composition of the PLGA nanofiber surface was influenced by the plasma treatment, resulting in an increase in the number of polar groups, which contributed to the enhanced surface hydrophilicity. The degradation behavior of the PLGA nanofibers was accelerated by the plasma treatment, and the adhesion and proliferation of mouse fibroblasts on the plasma-treated nanofibers were significantly enhanced. This approach to controlling the surface characteristics of nanofibers prepared from biocompatible polymers could be useful in the development of novel polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering.

지방족 폴리에스터계 고분자인 폴리락타이드 (polylactide, PLA), 폴리글리콜라이드 (polyglycolide, PGA) 및 이들의 공중합체인 락타이드-글라이콜라이드 공중합체 (PLGA)는 생체 친화성이고 생분해성이며 물리적 강도가 우수하고 쉽게 성형할 수 있다. 그리고, 전기방사는 수 마이크로에서 수십 나노크기의 지름을 가지는 초극세 섬유인 나노섬유의 제조 기술로서 기존의 섬유 방사방식과는 근본적으로 다른 새로운 방사기술로 산업적인 융용 가능성이 무한한 미래지향적 기술로 최근 주목을 받고 있다. (중략)

Extracellular matrix(ECM) is composed of the ground materials(proteoglycan) and nano size diameter fibrous proteins(ex. collagens) that together form a composite-like structure. In this study, fibrous scaffold with biomimetic architecture based on collagen nanofibers interpenetrated in PLGA/chitosan microfibrous matrix. Chitosan was selected for its structure similarity to glycosaminoglycan and neutralizing capacity for PLGA acidic metabolite. Collagen nanofiber were prepared by electrospinning. (omitted)
