text: Electrospinning is a versatile method to produce nanofibers or nanofiber mats
from diverse polymers or polymer blends. Including ceramic or metallic nanoparticles
can even be used to create purely inorganic nanofibers for diverse applications.
On the other hand, biocompatible and biodegradable polymers are of high interest
especially for biomedical applications. Biodegradable nanofiber mats as scaffolds
can be used in tissue engineering, especially when degradation times are in the
same order of magnitude as cell proliferation on these substrates. Biodegradation,
however, involves more aspects than the pure time profile. Especially for utilization
in vitro and in vivo, byproducts of degradation processes may lead to undesired
reactions with the surrounding tissue, and vice versa. Here, we give an overview
of the production techniques of biodegradable nanofibers and nanofiber mats by
different electrospinning techniques. In addition, we report on biotechnological
and biomedical applications of such fully or partly biodegradable nanofibers and
show the chances and challenges in interaction with living tissue and organisms.
