Abstract: A novel method for solution spray at a high nitrogen pressure was applied in the preparation of tissue engineering scaffolds. The chloroform solution of biodegradable poly(ether ester) poly(ethylene glycol terephthalate)/poly(butylene terephthalate)(PEGT/PBT) was nebulized to give fibers in the nitrogen current and subsequently to accumulate into non-woven scaffolds. At the same time, the hyaluronic acid(HA) aqueous solution was sprayed onto the surface of the resulted fibers to form more biocompatible scaffolds. The implant experiments indicated that these scaffolds were perfect in biocompatibility. HA used as an extracellular matrix improved the biocompatibility of the non-woven scaffolds.
