Biocompatible scaffolds have been used to promote cellular growth and proliferation in order to develop grafts, prostheses, artificial skins and cartilage. Electrospinning is widely studied as a method capable of producing nanofibers which enables cell attachment and proliferation, generating a functional scaffold that is suitable for many types of organs or tissues. In this study, electrospinning was used to obtain core-shell and monolithic fibers from the biocompatible poly (lactic acid) and poly (vinyl alcohol) polymers.
