Abstract
The study reports the fabrication and in vitro biological evaluation of a sol-gel derived bioactive glass (BG) / polycaprolactone (PCL) composite fiber membrane, as a potential candidate for bone regeneration applications. The non woven composite mats were prepared by introducing the glass particles into the electrospinning process. Adding the glass improved the homogeneity of the fibers. The apatite forming ability of the membranes in simulated body fluid were evaluated and showed that hydroxyapatite had formed within 21 days in SBF and completely covered the surface of the membrane. In cell culture, dental pulp stem cells adhered proliferated and produced mineralized matrix on the PCL/BG fiber membrane.
