Potential of Magnetic Nanofiber Scaffolds with Mechanical and Biological Properties Applicable for Bone Regeneration

Figure 5

Degradation analyses of MNPs.

(a–c) Apatite forming ability in 1.5SBF and (d,e) degradation behavior of the PCL-MNP nanofiber scaffolds; (a) XRD pattern of different samples taken at 30 days of 1.5SBF-immersion. (b) XRD pattern of 20MNP at varying immersion times. (c) SEM morphology showing the formation of apatite crystal on the surface of nanofiber (20 MNP). (d) Weight change due to a degradation in PBS at 37°C for periods up to 28 days. (e) SEM morphology of the nanofiber samples after the degradation test for 14 and 28 days.
