The effectiveness of a multifunctional scaffold produced by the electrospinning of emulsions composed of organic PLGA and aqueous collagen-like protein (denoted as Fol-8Col) solutions is demonstrated. The resultant Fol-8Col/PLGA fibrous scaffolds with homogeneous morphology have mean fiber diameters from 600 to 2,000 nm. A uniform distribution of encapsulated Fol-8Col in the fibers is observed by fluorescence microscopy. TEM is used to clarify the representative core/sheath structure of emulsion electrospun Fol-8Col/PLGA fibers. Preliminary release assessment of encapsulated Fol-8Col shows results of sustained release for more than one month from the Fol-8Col/PLGA fibrous mats. The cytocompatibility of fibroblast cell line L929 with the fibrous composite seems promosing.
