Biodegradable polymeric fibers with nanoand submicron diameters, produced by electrospinning can be used as scaffolds in tissue engineering. It is necessary to characterize their mechanical properties especially at the nanoscale. The Force Spectroscopy is suitable atomic force microscopy mode, which allows to probe mechanical properties of the material, such as: reduced Young's modulus, deformation, adhesion, and dissipation. If combined with standard operating mode: contact or semicontact, it will also provide advanced topographical analysis. In this paper we are presenting results of Force Spectroscopy characterization of two kinds of electrospun fibers: polycaprolactone and polycaprolactone with hydroxyapatite addition. The average calculated from Johnson-Kendall-Roberts theory Young's modulus was 4 ± 1 MPa for pure polymer mesh and 20 ± 3 MPa for composite mesh. |
