Nanofibrous γ-NaPGA-silica hybrid scaffolds with controllable silica contents were fabricated by electrospinning.
The introduction of NaHCO3 caused the formation of the sodium salt form of γ-PGA with solubility in aqueous-based solution.
The results of FTIR and 29Si MAS-NMR indicated that γ-PGA and silica networks were covalent-linked with GPTMS.
The γ-PGA-silica hybrid scaffolds can provide an excellent ECM for bone tissue regeneration.
