Proteinase K was successfully loaded inside Ultrafine fibers of poly(ethylene glycol) - poly(L-lactide) (PELA) by emulsion electrospinning. A core/shell fiber structure was formed and verified by a transmission electron microscope. In vitro biodegradation of electrospun PELA membranes containing proteinase K (PELA-P) was examined in Tris-HC1 buffer solution at pH 8.6 and 37 degrees C in comparison with electrospun PELA membranes without proteinase K. During biodegradation, mass loss, water absorption, pH value of the incubated buffer, fibrous morphology and thermal properties were monitored. Results suggested that PELA-P membranes degraded significantly faster than PELA membranes. A significant drop in pH value of the buffer after incubation of PELA-P membranes for Id was observed, and after 7 d, PELA-P membranes lost their fibrous appearance and masses almost completely. In contrast, electrospun PELA membranes did not show any obvious changes. The obtained electrospun PELA-P membranes exhibited self-accelerated biodegradability and could benefit drug controlled release and tissue regeneration. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
