In this paper,a mild process to prepare porous tussah silk fibroin( TSF) scaffolds from aqueous solution was described. The n-butanol was used to control the self-assembly of tussah silk. The scaffolds with different TSF concentrations and the same volume showed differences in pore size and distribution. The maximum porosity of the poprepared porous scaffolds was 80% in this paper. And the pore size of the prepared porous scaffolds with different concentrations was between 10μm and 230 μm. X-ray diffraction( XRD) analysis revealed that amorphous TSF was crystallized to β-sheet secondary structure upon gelatin. The TSF scaffolds for controlled drug release was studied and the result showed that the time of drug release was significantly longer. The produced TSF scaffolds with sustained drug release have potential application in tissue engineering.展开更多

The electrospun fibrous mats were crosslinked by UV-radiation or glutaraldehyde to weaken the degree of drug burst release and morphology damage when meeting water. The morphology and chemical structures of COL/PVA-SA electrospun fibers were characterized by SEM and FTIR. The crosslinking of UV-radiation did not destroy the morphology of COL/PVA-SA electrospun fibers in the crosslinking process, however, the crosslinking of glutaraldehyde did it. In vitro release studies showed that COL/PVA-SA electrospun fibers efficiently controlled the release of drugs by the crosslinking of UV-radiation for 4 h. The transport mechanism that controlled the release of drugs from electrospun mats was Fickian diffusion.展开更多
