Characterization and Determination of the Biocompatibility of Porous Polytetrafluoroethylene Membranes Fabricated via Electrospinning

Ilya Kolesnik et al.

Summary: The study presented the structure and properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymeric membranes obtained by electro-spinning from a suspension of PTFE in a solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with subsequent thermal treatment. It was found that decreasing the PTFE suspension content in spinning solutions led to a decrease in the number of defects in membrane fibers, increasing strength and elongation, with higher crystallinity and improved crystal structure. The membranes after thermal treatment showed no cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility during implantation into soft tissues.
