The electrospinning technique coupled with the electrospraying process provides a straightforward and versatile tandem approach to novel nanofibrous biomaterials with structural, mechanical, and biological properties potentially suitable for bone tissue regeneration.  In this comparative investigation, three different types of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)-based scaffolds were engineered, namely neat PHB mats, PHB nanofibers with incorporated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA) within their structure, as well as PHB nanofibers with electrosprayed nHA deposited on their surface.
