Abstract

There is a growing interest in blending natural and synthetic polymers as biomaterials for generating complex fibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes. In this talk we will report on co-electrospinning binary and tertiary blends of gelatin (denatured collagen) with either a conductive polymer, polyaniline (PANi), or with a mixture of polylactic acid / polyglycolic acid, and elastin (PGE) Finally, we will demonstrate the usefulness of elastin-based fibrous scaffolds for pulmonary tissue engineering
