Preparation and characterization of vertically arrayed hydroxyapatite nanoplates on electrospun nanofibers for bone tissue engineering
The aim of this study is to develop a facile and an efficient approach for providing the electrospun nanofibers scaffold with a vertically well-aligned and homogeneous distribution of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoplates that coat the scaffold while maintaining its fibrous and porous structure.

The aim of this study is to develop a facile and an efficient approach for providing the electrospun nanofibers scaffold with a vertically well-aligned and homogeneous distribution of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoplates that coat the scaffold while maintaining its fibrous and porous structure. Crystal growth of HA nanoplates from a colloidal solution onto the surface of nylon (N6) nanofibers was carried out via a hydrothermal approach. The factors affecting the scaffold's morphology, macrostructure and the interfacial bonding between the constituents as well as the influence of crystal size were characterized and well elucidated. The results revealed that the deposition of dense and thick uniform nanoplates was perpendicular and nucleated in a parallel configuration onto the longitudinal axes of the individual nanofibers during the treatment process.
