Aligned electrospun siloxane-doped vaterite/poly(L-lactide) composite fibremats: evaluation of their tensile strength and cell compatibility.

Siloxane-doped vaterite (SiV)/poly(L-lactide) hybrid-composite (SiPVH) has been developed in our group as the bone repair material and successfully fabricated into a non-woven electrospun fibremat. The aim of this work is to prepare aligned electrospun SiPVH fibremats with varied SiV content and compare their tensile properties and cell compatibilities using mouse osteoblast-like cells. It was observed that the maximum stress exhibited some non-linear trend as a function of SiV content: the highest stress value was reached with 30 wt.
