Biocompatible nanofiber scaffolds on metal for controlled release and cell colonization

摘要

This paper reports for the first time a preparation of biocompatible titanate nanofiber scaffolds on the surface of titanium foil/mesh via a one-step hydrothermal reaction.The length and diameter of the nanofibers can be controlled by varying the fabrication parameters,such as reaction temperature,precursor concentration,and reaction time.The nanofibers can self-organize into macroporous (mostly 0.5-10 mu m in diameter) scaffolds potentially useful for developing new bioscaffolds,photocatalysts,sensors,and drug delivery vehicles.
