The morphology and diameter of nanofibers in the membrane are well performed when the 15% PCL solution is electrospun under the condition of 18 k V,15 cm,0. 7 m L/h. The poresize of the membranes is less than 10 μm, where such kinds of arrangement are extremely compact to prevent the cells from growing in. The mechanical properties of the membrane with better arrangement state can reach 68. 8 c N/mm^2. The cytotoxicity test of the composite mesh demonstrates the nontoxicity of the materials.However,the bonding fastness between the membrane and the PP mesh is extremely unsubstantial. The better ways to bond PP mesh with PCL membranes should be discussed in the future.展开更多
