Nanofibres from polyaniline/polyhydroxybutyrate blends

Three-dimensional nanofibres nonwoven webs were obtained from solution of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB) and dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) doped polyaniline in chlorophorm/trifluoroethanol mixture, using electrospinning method. The morphology, electro-active properties and supermolecular structure of nanofibres webs have been analyzed and discussed. Obtained nanofibres are potentially applicable as scaffolds for tissue engineering.
